One point you made about passing the knowledge hit home in a big way. I was watching a show on Jack Taylor last night. In case you don't know who he is, Jack is a man that has a shop in Beverly Hills that makes custom men's suits. You might ask - what on earth does that have to do with pottery making?!! Well, he is 90 and believes tayloring is becoming a lost art because nobody want to learn. His fear is that the art of tayloring will disappear and young people don't want to put in the work to learn the skill and artistry of making a custom suit. So your gift to the world of passing on your knowledge of pottery making is a wonderful goal! I am a quilt artist and try to educate whoever will listen about quilts.
