I love sgraffito, and I reallly love the pot that is your favorite, too. I've never seen anything like it. I might have bid on it if I had been there. Good thing I wasn't! I'm sure I wouldn't be able to afford it.

I bought a horsehair piece from a potter in Crestone, CO. He described his technique to me. I love the randomness of it. The hair will burn outside of your control. That last moment's ceding of control is my kind of art.

Horsehair, is very common with Raku pottery.

The pueblo tribe of New Mexico throw some of the meanest playing anywhere, ever. I love that there's a theme to each nations work.

I am impressed that you know where Crestone is, let alone that you bought a piece of pottery there. Coincidentally, one of my all-time favorite clay sculptors lives in Crestone.

I have a Crestone post I've been sitting on. It's a strange place, I think in a good way, though my two visits were not enough to confirm either way, and of course there is the legacy of Mother Love, a truly verified mentally ill human being elevated as a cult leader by exploitative and other ill humans and documentarians. They have as you know a killer cafe with outrageously good eggs and smoothies and tables that force you to talk to strangers about Mother Love and other curiosities of the ethereal world. And a dude who owns a torquoise mine. Crestone has so much to offer.
