This is the very first pot I threw in 1994. I have saved it all these years. It has a job in my studio, holding stretch-loops. If you look closely, you'll see that it suffered an accident at one point, and I lovingly glued it back together.

I often get asked at shows "how long have you been doing this?" I made my first pot in 1994, and I remember how fun it was a few years ago when I could answer that question with "20 years." I like round number milestones. This past weekend, I had another fun realization, which is that the answer is now "23 years." And that I am now 46 years old. Which means the answer to the question is "half of my life." I plan to use this answer as many times as possible until I turn 47.

My Facebook feed did its retro post thing, and showed me my post from 2010 where I posted pictures of half a dozen of my beginner pots (including my first mug). In response to a question about selling my crappy first-time pots, I referred my friends to you. Seeing your first pot reminds me of the journey that your instruction in clay has taken me on.
