The 1st annual
CRACKED POT Award
Polly Harris
ONCE UPON A TIME AGO... LONG, LONG AGO... AS LEGENDS USUALLY GO... A WISE MAN OBSERVED THAT A PERSON POSSESSING AN UNUSUALLY HIGH SKILL LEVEL HITTING VARIOUS TARGETS WAS OFTEN REFERRED TOO AS BEING A CRACK SHOT. THUS RAISING THE QUESTION IN LATER GENERATIONS .... IF A PERSON EXHIBITS AN UNUSUALLY HIGH SKILL LEVEL IN THE MAKING OF CLAY POTS, THE MIXING OF GLAZES FOR THESE POTS, AND ALL THE INFORMATION NEEDED TO FIRE THESE POTS.... IS THAT PERSON CONSIDERED A "CRACK POT?"
IN LIGHT OF THIS CONSIDERATION, WE WOULD LIKE TO ESTABLISH THE "CRACK POT" CLAY AWARD. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR VOTE IS COUNTED THIS THE FIRST YEAR IN THE ANNUAL "CRACKED POT" AWARD.
