I began working with clay when Paulus Berensohn came to Swarthmore College in 1963. I then continued at the Community Arts Center and several of us, led by Paulus, started the Potters Guild. Once, while working with clay in the mountains, I saw some plants that were apparently growing out of the rocks. This inspired me to begin throwing closed forms, which I began altering and joining together to form planters as well as small table fountains to which plants could be added.
