I took a pottery class 20 years ago and it was love at first sight. Some of my favorite pieces are the simplest - a teacup or coffee mug, a small bowl for a small taste of something.

At the other end of the spectrum you can make the most intricate and fanciful vase or sculptural piece. The beauty of pottery is that you can touch it; you can use it. Pottery is one of the oldest art forms and most long lasting.
