Do you have a suggestion for a message about clay for a t-shirt or a bumper sticker? | April 8, 2012

I like a stop sign logo with "stop" spelled backwards.

Brilliant!!!!!!

CHANGE THE RED STOP SIGN COLOUR TO GREEN AND WRITE POTS ACROSS IT. THAT WOULD BE BRILLIANT LIKE JOHN SAYS.

oops! Caps lock on again. Sorry. I wasn't really yelling.

TJR.

Thanks, John, until now, I'm the only one who ever thought a suggestion of mine was brilliant.

 

TJR... I think it works better keeping the logo red. I get your point, but red make the logo more obvious and you do want people to stop for the pots.

"BUY LOCAL" is not always a good thing.

 

What happens if there is a shop near me that sells some very nice Mexican pots made by poor Mexicans in a village who struggle to make a decent living?

Example: "The Renaissance of Mata Ortiz", a film of how an anthropologist sold mexican pots in America and thereby transformed a whole village.

 

It is not just the local artist or craftsman that deserves support, there are potters in far-away places who are often even in more need of support.

Sometimes the "Buy Local" campaign in many countries is driven by patriotism and is a form of protectionism,

not necessarily good for pottery/art in general or the local artists themselves.
