Fondly remembering this reaction to one of my teapots at a gallery show in Wilmington, NC. (Teapot handle made of barbed wire.) That whole experience was wonderful, beginning to end.

One of my favorite pieces. I thought it turned out beautifully. Reclaimed wood, porcelain cube, stoneware cube (pit fired), and two miniature freight skids made of new/used wood. Approx. 22"x28"
