THE LAST WALTZ CLAY STUDIO WAS  CONCEIVED SEPTEMBER 15, 2007.  ALTHOUGH THIS STUDIO IS A NEWBORN ENTERPRISE FOR ME, MY POTTERY ADOLESCENCE AND YOUNG ADULTHOOD WAS SPENT AS CO-OWNER OF SALTY DOG POTTERY IN BARNSTEAD, NH FOR NEARLY TWENTY YEARS.  AFTER A SEVENTEEN YEAR "SABBATICAL" I AM BACK IN MY "MATURE" YEARS SLINGING THE MUD.

   HOPEFULLY WHAT YOU SEE IS AN ATTEMPT AT A MASTERY OF FORM THAT COMES WITH THE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE DOVETAILED WITH THE ENERGY AND EXPERIMENTATION THAT USUALLY DEFINES ONES EARLIER TIMES.  IF IT IS NOT YET APPARENT, I AM DOING EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
