made of clay

small clay mug Your Clay Projects: Ever wonder what happened to that ash tray you made in fourth grade? I know, you thought your parents would cherish it forever. But something happened and your project ended up at the Goodwill.

That's where I found it. Your ash tray, some other kid's little finger-pinched monster, some other kid's hideously malformed wall pocket. And you know what? I love them. I love to think about the kids who made them, how long their parents kept them, and what might have happened that the thing turned up in my shopping basket.

More than anything, though, I just love giving a new home to this unique kind of folk art. So if you have a clay project in your life that you don't want to keep but can't bear to throw away, please send me an email. I can't offer payment, but I'll give your project a spot in my display case and I'll include it on this website.

If you want to share a photo of your project, again just send me an email with the photo attached and some info about your project. I'll create a new gallery just for visitors' projects.

Now go see the collection!
