“I don’t make pots for everyone! I make them for those who like the unusual. Those who like the marks of the maker, the fire and those who are not interested in sameness. What that means is that I make pots for a very few select people. Marks of process in making and firing influence the forms and surfaces that I create. I have embraced the forces of nature+chance+luck against my knowledge, skill , willpower and stubbornness. Choose Interesting!” ~ Tony Clennell
