Had to clip this one…the Elvie referenced is my father’s late mother…and the world of pottery making is woven into my novel Oh Gad! It gave me a kick to see this in the Museum newsletter (HAS Newsletter 2014-1 FINAL)albeit on the sad occasion of the passing of Eric Smith, the man who created the display which visualizes my grandmother and the tradition of pottery making as part of Antiguan folk tradition.
RIP Eric Smith
RIP Mama
Very interesting. I t would be great to see a revival of pottery making in Sea View Farm and elsewhere. We should keep the old arts and crafts alive. Keep culture alive. 🙂 Thanks for this post.
I was so surprised when I saw it while flipping through the Museum newsletter. I’m glad they’re preserving her memory and the memory of an important folk tradition in this way. Thanks for sharing.
Indeed!
Anytime. 🙂
