The Shroud Pot
recent events have reminded me of this piece very strongly...
assisting Gracie with Karen
passages of many sorts, many emotions, much wonder...
thank you Gracie for the honor of helping...
this was made from watching my son Wyatt before he was born, years back,
as his arms and legs would dance across his mother's stomach...
such contradictory events creating such similar images
life in all it's stages holds many forms together...
it's been called the Shroud Pot since I can remember
a name first used by Jackie Davidson when she initially encountered it...

Potter's note
Warm greetings everyone…
i have been asked to send along a note to the potters [from a list from the center] who might be coming to the Karen Karnes celebration at “Old church” on Sept 17th.
I know for many the distance is too great or commitments prevent your attendance, so please understand that pressure has no part in this.
Part of the event is to be a Pot Luck supper. All of you know how Karen loved food. It was one of the great pleasures of her life and pot luck dinners were her favorites.
So I’m writing to ask that you go all out for this one. Bring your most favorite food allowable with the travel and time considerations available to you.
For those non cooks find your favorite deli, cafe or fine food shop and indulge us with a real treat. My own experience has always been that dinners among potters have always been the best.
Excellent food, beautiful presentations and of course wonderful company. So please lets all, together, help ease Maria’s concern that there may not be much food
and send Karen a feast to remember as we honor and celebrate her life and work…
if possible, please spread this message to any friends and co-conspirators in the clay world you know, who might be interested…
thank you…
