because i was late on getting a paint order in, i was “forced” to drive to ocala and pick up our underglazes (paints).   what a wonderful visit…  i am now wanting to add more hand-made clay pieces to our studio collection, for our customers to simply paint, or make themselves.  clay.   messy but oh so versatile.  love that earthy, hand-made look.   will it ever catch on?  ;)
