AMY SCHWARTZ POTTER
Functional Pottery

The Beauty of Everyday Things

The Earth births elements of life
from tumultuous fire and molten lava.
Moments of peace or passion last for decades or millennia.

With reverence
an artist may create with resource of the Earth.

Reflections of peace or passion
are enjoyed in moments
which together are the expression
and sum of life.

Amy Potter was born in Oakland, California and raised in Williamsburg, Virginia (as Amy Schwartz) to be an artist and a philosopher. She moved to Middle Tennessee in 1996 to pursue the arts of community, family, farming, writing and ceramics.
