Semi-OT:
Potters who are also mystery lovers may enjoy "Uncommon Clay" by
Margaret Maron, a mystery involving Judge Deborah Knott and a family
of North Carolina potters that seems to be marked for death.
The pottery aspects are presented fairly well, and the plot is pretty
good. However, the author spends a *lot* of time on character
development, so this may not be for those who like cut-to-the-chase
action. My wife and I listened to it as a recorded book (from the
local library) on a trip this past weekend, and it seemed slow getting
started to me, whereas she had no problems with it. (She selects the
recordings, because she is a weaver and has already listened to most
of the library collection while working at her loom... if I picked,
she would be sure to have heard it already!) But it was fine to while
away the miles, and might be equally fine in a pottery studio.
