From my FB... So, I owe this man everything. He taught me how to make pots and how to work with clay, initially. Troy showed me how clay was important in the living of life, and how the community was so integral to the making process, not discounting what the tradition of wood firing has done for our culture as a whole for the entire planet. He also let me see the importance of the functional object, the bowl, really could impact a person's life. The man that is Jack Troy has been such a game changer in the Americas, in the understanding of clay. I am at a loss for words to describe his true impact on the #NCECA2016 world, let alone the contemporary art world as a whole. So much respect is due to him and his practice. With out teachers like him we would be worlds behind. He is so earth-shattering. Such a boss. #jacktroy #ceramics #drobnock https://www.instagram.com/p/BDE7aJNFkY4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=18ss8mn9ccrk8

Chose a woodfired teabowl by Jack Troy for tea this morning, and it felt like the essence of the season with its orange and yellow ash glaze and impression of tiny roots. Jack told me he made a negative cast in plaster of the roots, and then impressed the cast on his bowl to make a positive. As I sipped I could feel the roots under my fingers and thought of all the energy stored deep under ground by the dogwood and maple over my head. Enough to tide them over the winter to come.

Chose my Jack Troy teabowl for green tea this morning and its impression of roots and its earthy wood- fire colors were beautifully complimented by the dry dogwood leaves on my tea tray.

Found this guy staring out at me from my studio wall. Jack Troy is a pottery hero, poet, woodfirer, inspiration. #pottery #ceramics #saltglazing #jacktroy (at Cloverdale, California)
