The idea that a person can get up and make something out of clay that is,fun,fancy,simple,crazy,and gives you a satisfaction is truly amazing. What I enjoy about your work is how much you enjoy making it. You own what you do and it comes across in your cooking and how much you love your family as well.<br />You are a lucky man.cookingwithgashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11456258592273328486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576713095937364949.post-76504679138471241562013-03-29T13:10:21.745-04:002013-03-29T13:10:21.745-04:00I hadn't thought of baroque until you pointed ...I hadn't thought of baroque until you pointed it out with the photos. When looking at baroque pots, you have to look closely and then you see the decoration, handle or knob is an animal or figure.
