A Case for Things Handmade in the Age of Walmart...
Some of the best moments in life involve sharing food and beverages with those we love. In these instances, I choose artisan items over factory-made ones. Both may function similarly, but something about the warmth and sensitivity of handmade objects compels a body to reach for them first. The pottery I make melds my tactile sensibilities and preferences into objects that can be shared and used with others who have a passion for merrymaking. In my cabinet and life, I inexplicably gravitate toward the unique, exquisite qualities of handmade ceramics.
