How to compete?
Cheryl just went to Wal-mart and got some new dinnerware ...I know ...a disgrace! But the thing is she got :
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Ten-Strawberry-Street-Simply-White-Round-16-Piece-Dinnerware-Set/14118809
Which is a 4 place setting- with 4 dinner plates, 4 salad plates, 4 bowls and 4 cups for $20.00!!!
How is that possible!!??
How can potters compete? I may just start going up to Wal-mart and buying my dinnerware and then put decals on them and resell them for $25.00. Wait a minute...I still couldn't make any money!!???
WTF!

Would you supply Walmart if asked? Aye, there's rub.
I don't want to mislead anyone into thinking that I am trying to compete with K-Mart in providing useful everyday objects. My goal has never been to provide America with a good $2 mug. Rather, it has been to make a mug that compels one to be aware of every aspect or the act of drinking and hopefully to transform that commonplace act into the kind or rare aesthetic experience that has a life beyond that fleeting moment. This may not, to some, be a very ambitious goal. But it is in this very private and domestic part of our lives, I believe, where art's ability to help us cope with the hardships of life, has its greatest potential.
