Tony,
Strangely, a friend just handed me a copy, when we went out to dinner last
week. ("I have a gift for you.")
She knows I'm more intrigued by modern architecture so it was a pleasant
surprise to be handed a book about a female potter with whom I'm not all
that familiar. (Know her name not so much her work.)

I expected it to be a book with pictures of pots but its much more about
her life as a clay person. She had a very adventurous life.

I look forward to reading it.

take care

I saw my first 'in person' Beatrice Wood piece at the Renwick last
May. There are some photos in my blog:

But they don't do the glaze justice. Her pieces just glow.
