I buy pottery...I buy way more pottery than I need. I have 18-20 coffee mugs, and plates that are seldom used. I need a keeper when I see pottery.
If I'd been real smart, I'd have learned to make pottery rather than learning to turn wood, because people don't call up potters saying "I have this sticky dirt out behind my house...do you want IT?" (I have 2 lifetimes supply of wood, and they keep calling!) And people don't usually break wood stuff....
