Grant you I live relatively close to a big city, but I also don't get around much. :-) Of course there are a lot of pottery people out there that exclusively do work on the wheel, but I've met a few of them that also cast. <br /><br />Some of the latter do tend to snub their noses at cast or even low-fire work of any kind. I took a course several years ago with a teacher like that. She did seem surprised at what I did when I brought a few pieces in to show her though. As I'm not a very competitive person perhaps I just don't see it as much. Rose colored glasses. :-) <br /><br />And I'm also a big fan of Rookwood pottery and been lucky enough to have seen a lot ovr the years. There are a lot of pottery collecters around this area. Wish I could be one of them! <br /><br />Loved your pics!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11739325938832874995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766578391965119860.post-89305253104244326512011-08-03T12:32:48.501-04:002011-08-03T12:32:48.501-04:00We can hope so, on both counts!

And I am still kicking myself for not purchasing the (rather pricey) Rookwood bookends I was admiring in the gift shop.Lesli Kathmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840404360992640749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5766578391965119860.post-21216244370248790272011-08-03T10:58:05.172-04:002011-08-03T10:58:05.172-04:00Wow- those pieces are fantastic, Lesli! Thanks so...Wow- those pieces are fantastic, Lesli! Thanks so much for sharing! The detail and craftsmanship of that period never fail to amaze and inspire. The bit you mentioned on slip casting is fascinating; I didn't realize that it was once considered legitimate art, either! That leaves hope that the tide will turn eventually. And with vintage stuff only gaining in popularity, perhaps one day there will be an arts & crafts revival.... :)Adaleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315868226429438340noreply@blogger.com
