some time ago,  Debra Price Agrums,    Artisun.blogspot.com.   Whitney High School, Cerritos, California  

posted one of her class's work with pinch pots.  and i was TAKEN.   Just so TAKEN by the work of one student,  Sarah Oh.    It was Perfect and just so so Beauty Full and i so much Wanted it,  so i contacted Deb who put me in touch with Sarah Oh herself and the exchange was reached and i had dibs on this pot,  but it would have to wait until the end of the school year and their Exhibit.  I waited.    Watching Deb's blog,  seeing that the end of year exhibit had happened with great great success and then sent my email….That POT.

    Hi!! I’m so glad it came in one piece! Your kind words mean the WORLD to me and really do encourage me to keep it up. Your hand stitched tree with the lizard in the first photo is really amazing too! Thank you so so much for buying the piece and I hope you will put it to good use. Love, Sarah!

    first i see the thin lines adding up to a tree, and then seeing the lizard in the roots of said tree and then the pot with the lizard and the way the lizard clings to said pot, and what is in the pot, all of:
    perfect

    yes, and i got the clay and i didn’t do ANYTHING WITH IT. it is now under the counter, hard as a rock.
    but i have talked to Jenny about this. I’d ordered her one of his books too. She has it, there…in California. She has always imagined working with clay and never has.
    THIS
    we WILL do. Her, me, Alyssia and the kids…Emrie, in her time. Work with clay.
    Sarah Oh’s Beauty is a sign to me. We will.

    Oh Grace, I so wish you could meet Sarah, one of the most gentle souls I’ve ever taught. So talented in design and drawing, and now she has discovered sculpture thru the clay class. I am thrill you two have connected thru her work. She is beyond excited that you like you work, and she and her family very honored that you reached out to her to hold her pot and give it a loving home. Thank you Grace for making this very special young woman so very happy.
