First out of the gate

This will be my attempt to document my ceramic journey. I am 40 years old, married to my wonderful wife Cyndi Maness Gardner. Today we celebrate our son James William Gardner turning one year old. This seems like a good time to start a blog, as I have planned to do this for some time now. I have been making pots, or attempting to, for almost three years now. An on again, off again student, I am now starting to set up a home studio. You will see the progression and hopefully some good pots that come from this process. I expect to feature Will in his exploits as a growing baby, and some photographs of the beautiful place we live, Black Ankle, North Carolina.
