"I have been attending the Annual Pottery Show and Sale since I was an undergraduate student in Western NY. Friends and I would make the drive to Demarest to see great pots and talk to potters. I considered this trip an important part of my education. It was always exciting to be able to see such a large amount of good work in one place and talk to the makers- I was always a bit star struck.

Now, as an invited artist, I still feel a similar excitement at being able to see such a large grouping of incredible pots and catch up with friends both old and new. "
