As a note to my avid blog followers (yeah, right), I had some good fortune. While I was in Norway doing some engineering, Elise got a knock on the door. It was a lady from Nashville who had seen my pots sitting on the porch and she wanted to meet the potter. Elise told her I was in Norway and showed her about. Turns out she was the Director of External Affairs for the Tennessee State Museum and liked my big pots. She left an email address and after my return from Norway I took a number of pots to Nashville to the Museum. The Museum Director and Curator also like them. The Museum acquired 3 for their collection and the curator bought one for his private collection. I had brought in some of the smaller ware and the gift shop took that in on commission. I am still a bit in shock.
