I'd like to see Elmer make pots, he seems like my kind of potter. On his website there is a b&w photo of him working and his wheel is chained to a table with a huge logging chain. That's pretty cool. Must have been at an overnight demo or something. ??

i didn't notice that...i'll have to ask him about that. those are some sweet short shorts he's wearing too. he apprenticed with michael leach in the 60's...maybe a stint with david leach too...i can't remember. his pots are very inexpensive too...like almost warren inexpensive. he's one of the few people that can use bright colors and marry it with the form really well. he's been woodfiring the last couple years so his pots aren't as bright as what's on his website, but they're nice. i may do some short videos at the workshop and post them.
