These are strange times we are living through. Many changes ahead. Some good, some bad I guess. How to negotiate these as a Potter and ceramicist will be interesting. The access to resources is going to prove difficult. Our government may not consider any craft activities to be "necessities"- but they are not aware of what it means to be a home producer, fully independent, living outside the commercial hub of big industry, without access to foodstores etc. Only very few of our local potters are seen in major retailers.  My country, and indeed most consumers here rely on Chinese imported dinnerware which you find in every home store at extremely low prices. Until that changes, we will never be mainstream producers- suits me just fine, because I am retired, and do not rely on my Pottery for a living, but maybe the world is changing and us home potters will find a position in the mainstream after all. As long as I dont have to make toilets!
