Loved this “flick” – thoughtful, philosophical, and inspirational. And now I know who is to blame for my warped or cracked pots! 🙂 Thank you.

The visual portions of the video are fantastic. She is truly gifted. The music competes with her voice, and my hearing aids amplify everything (even with programmable aids), so it is distracting to have the music going at the same time she is talking.

I truly enjoyed this ” flick”… How totally appropriate it was to have the first flick offered to be one that shared my feelings that clay stands up to the digital world and serves to maintain a solid and artful connection to the physical world… Perfect!
