Quote's

Pottery is very individual and very personal. There are two quotes which sum this up:

Jenny Smack is a local potter here in Squamish, BC. "I have an inner urgency and passion for clay, as it allows me to indulge my senses into creation....the raw tactile connection I experience with the clay. "

Bill van Gilder from the DIY Network in the US "The more we sit behind our computers, the more we need that handmade mug, serving bowl, or plate that grounds us. They not only connect us to earth materials, they connect us by touch to all the thought, emotion and creativity that went into making them."
