How did you acquire a Lisa York piece of pottery?
"I had admired Lisa’s pottery before we meet.  Then, I had the opportunity to curate a show “Essential Earth” Lisa was one of the artist I had invited to take part within the exhibition.  I was planning to buy one of her pieces but, it sold before I had the chance to buy it!
So, when she was conducting a workshop at CAC Community Arts Center in Wallingford, PA  I was able to purchase her beautiful pottery."
