Our first stop was Earthworks today, a local pottery place. Their tag line is “Earthworks, no ordinary pottery” and they aren’t kidding. The colors are vibrants and the inventory vast. The best part is patrons are free to wander around the pottery making area. The main guy, David, the son of the woman who started the place, of Canadian decent, was at the wheel. David expertly and tirelessly threw one pot after another. He happily chatted with us in a soft spoken voice while he did. The pottery that doesn’t pass inspection gets tossed on the scrap pile, used in the walls, or, in its a bit better than scrap, there is a ‘seconds’ shelf.
