Artist's statement to be sung to the tune of "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music.
The feel of the clay when it's straight from the bag
Sgraffito designs that zig and then zag
Porcelain vases from dynasty Ming
These are a few of my favorite things
Cradling your hands 'round bisque that's still warm
Finding the intersection of function and form
The anticipation that kiln opening brings
These are a few of my favorite things
Ribbons of clay that fly off when you trim
Using a chamois to soften a rim
Throwing a vase from the wheel head it springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites, when the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad
