When you’re used to serving up a spot of tea; tossing a healthy salad with a side of soup; or boasting boldly that it’s his morning brew. Well…it’s hard to get the artistic respect you’re due! Let’s face it. Pottery is the art world’s over-achiever. In the video above, Ed Wierzbicki sets out to learn about the aesthetics of pottery, the other half of the food experience.
In the video, Ed visits Expressions Pottery Workshop in East Granby, where 28 potters make up a cooperative with a belief that form… and function can successfully collaborate in the world of pottery. And even a simple lamp has purpose, poise, and polish.
