This series of conversations offer an opportunity to consider any aspect of pots (form\, surface\, materials\, techniques\, aesthetics\, intention\, etc.) and to share ideas\, and answer questions. It’s often the case that we get so involved in our process of making\, that we don’t step back\, and ask\, “Why?” Or\, “What do I want to say?” These conversations can help us look at the bigger picture\, learn how to really see the pots we are making\, or simply clarify some technical questions we have had.”  –  Sarah Jaeger on the Speaking of Pots series URL:https://archiebray.org/event/speaking-of-pots-with-sarah-jaeger-4/ CATEGORIES:Education,Engagement Program ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://archiebray.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/image.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
