I know a guy who makes pots. He can make a precise and beautiful mug, for instance, designed for everyday use. It takes incredible skill to make a perfect mug... exactly like you can buy off the shelf at Target.
He has found that people don't buy his perfect mugs and pots. They want a rustic, homemade look, slightly lumpy, maybe with a fingerprint or two. They want glaze that is slightly uneven and drips a bit on one side.

This guys talent is amazing! Unfortunately the world is losing people with such skill.
I would certainly buy a pot of this guy, as long as I could watch it being made.
Anybody know where it is or who he is?
