Jill Smith, featured artist and well known potter states: “Dust to dust.
Ashes to ashes. For centuries ceramic urns have held the ash remains of humanity. Life, just like clay pots, is formed, molded and created by our own hand then firmed by fiery events. When we pass from this life plane we lay aside the trappings of this body and take our essence and experiences on to become what we will be. As a potter it is an honor to create a resting place for the memories of this world to reside in. Because they are involved in the actual act of creation themselves, artists view life and death in extraordinary ways. To bring those thoughts together in a show of this kind is in itself extraordinary. "
