We don't often get to see the work of our most popular artists, unless it's in the gallery in finished form. Certainly that's the case with artists like Sallie Thompson. Recently, Sallie provided us with a photo of some of here pottery designs at a mid-way point . . . ready to be fired. I'm going to ask her to give us a photo of this work in its final form so we can see the transformation.
