And then there is The Clay. None of us wouldbe here today, struggling and surviving, creating and making, if itweren’t for the power of the living earth that seduces, sustains andkeeps us growing. Thanks to The Clay, to all those workers and makersover the millennia who paved our way.Thank you Malcolm Davis.October 17, 1937- December 11, 2011http://www.mudfire.com/malcolm-davis-am08.htmPhoto: AK Photos
