I have given away more things than I have kept. This is true. I am not a keeper of things. At least not up until this point in my life. I’ve done a fair bit of moving about the country and prefer not to haul things around. That said, I have carried my four pieces of Rebecca Wood pottery around with me from place to place since my early adult days in Athens, GA. Her studio was (and remains) in my old Little Oconee neighborhood. The neighborhood was a funky blend of students and long time residents with homes in various stages of repair.
I use the pottery on a weekly basis as an augment to my daily dishware. I put special things on it as well as mundane things that I want to make special. When I touch or see them I get the feeling that some part of me is made manifest for that meal. I am communicating my artfulness and organic nature. The designs are simple and colorful. The pottery is made of Georgia red clay by one of last remaining hand formed pottery studios in the United States.
