Do all potters get this as much as i do???
We just moved to a new house, and so my whole pottery studio is in my mom's garage. When you open the door, you are faced with a wall of everything. I'm just starting to set up my temporary studio space at the new house, and so i was stopping by to pick up a few things. I pulled into my moms drive the other day, and the neighbors had a construction crew over. Apparently they are having a new fence installed. I had just opened the garage door and was looking through things when one of the workers stopped over to show me how the new fence was temporarily going to effect my mom letting the dog out, and asked if it would be OK to park their cement mixer at the end of my moms drive. As we were talking, he saw into the garage and at one point asked if i was a painter. I told him that i was a potter and quick showed him a vase that was readily accessable. He said that he liked it, and then said he knew about pottery because of the movie "Ghost" as he closed his eyes, began to sway his hips, and moved his hands together up and down as though making a pot in the air.
I was of course laughing, but this is not the first time i've gotten the Patrick Swayze reference, this is not the hundredth...
I think the movie "ghost" should be more celebrated in the pottery world for bringing hand made pottery to the mainstream. Maybe.
Also, i'm looking for a life sized cardboard cut out of Patrick Swayze for my classroom and booth, so if anyone knows of a lead, please let me know!!!
