I was walking down Court Street in Brooklyn one day and passed a craft store that I had passed many times before. This time, however, I noticed a little sign in the door advertising pottery classes. Well, the rest as they say... I started learning pottery with Debra Leche and then met Jan Pacifico (whose shop it was) and started a long and amazing friendship. I followed Jan to New Mexico and continued my love affair with pottery, reopening Tomé Clay as a lifelong dream and then turning it into a co-op that has now become The Tomé Art Gallery.

I have been making one type of craft or another since my maternal grandmother taught me to crochet at the age of 6. I found basketweaving just two years ago and got caught in the immediate gratification and serenity that it offers.

I also work with computers and design websites like this one. If you are interested, please contact me at MSPOTTS@AOL.COM.
