I extended my trip over a weekend so I'd have a chance to visit pottery shops in the area on my own time. I can't even begin to express what an incredible culture of pottery Seagrove has. Two additional days was only enough time to visit about 20 potters, which was only a small percentage of the total. I could have spent weeks there and not seen all the wonderful pottery! <br /><br />In comparison to so many places in the Western US, Utah included, Seagrove is a mature pottery market with potters comfortable in their tradition, and in sharing that tradition with each other & "outsiders." It made me realize how much other states are still in their infancy when it comes to the production of pottery. We have clay assocations in Utah, but nothing like the community that is evident in Seagrove. I have further enjoyed seeing the specifics of your daily pottery making in your blog. It reminds me of the warmth and welcome feeling I had walking through so many of Seagrove's pottery shops years ago. Thanks for sharing!Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077677066902349111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574046592294768817.post-46794449734320483972009-12-07T12:19:51.354-05:002009-12-07T12:19:51.354-05:00It's funny, Sid Lick and I were having this sa...It's funny, Sid Lick and I were having this same conversation on Saturday. He has such a great tradition in his family and I am one of the new guys. It was a little intimidating being right beside him, but he was so warm and generous and I had a great time being there with him. It could have been awkward for someone with a more competitive streak maybe, I just looked at it as one more step in my learning process and sat back and watched him work. You are so right, you can give 100 people a piece of clay and get 100 different things and there are people out there with 100 different tastes so that's good! Just keep making quality work and treat your customers kindly, they will come back for more!Tracey Broomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14560971496423789576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6574046592294768817.post-37954243669121313632009-12-07T11:50:26.920-05:002009-12-07T11:50:26.920-05:00All of the history is wonderful!

I've learned so much this past year from all of you potters so WILLING to share - I can see why many of you are so successful even in a market with an abundance of one medium.
