I learned to carve words into clay from my first pottery teacher, Chuck Chamberlain, in 1968. I inherited the idea of tall pieces with stories on them from him. He also encouraged me to be funny. He lives in North Carolina now but we are still friends. You can see his recent work at http://www.stpaulsepiscopal.com/stations.htm
