Memories to Heirlooms

Nurtured by Pottery

two crocks and a brown mug with handle.  One crock has a bunny painted on front with a lid with a bunny as a handle.  Other crock is straw color with black wheat shafts carved in the side.  The domed lid has a blue glaze melding with the straw glaze.
There is something about pottery that makes me feel nurtured and brings me joy. I imagine it is because I know someone took the time to put their hands to clay and make something functional to enhance daily tasks. My favorite potter is Amy Holland, who started as my pottery instructor (she an excellent teacher to any age) and became a good friend. I love everything about her work and literally begin and end my day using it. On my kitchen counter is a crock that holds my morning granola and a compost crock that I empty each evening. Also pictured is a mug that appeared in my cupboard one day. It warms my hands with my morning cocoa. Cocoa just tastes better in that mug.
Three crocks.  The center crock is grey with a blue design on front.  The left crock is cream with a fish on a fishing line and a green lid with carved images of the two cats as a handle.  The right cork is green with handles.  The green lid has a brown acorn as the handle.
cat handle of the customer crock.  Murry, a tiger cat is on the left and Lenny, a tuxedo cat is not he right.
Even the cat's food is kept in pottery. The center crock, given to me as a house warming gift 30 years ago, holds their dry food and is flanked by Holland pieces that store assorted treats. Amy even sculpted the boys as the handle on the lid, especially for them!
Filling my home with art is one way I care for myself. I will keep posting Amy's work just in case you wish to fill your home with her art as well.
