I saw Malcolm at my first Potters Conference a few years ago. His story was inspiring. As a chaplin at Georgetown at the height of Civil Rights strife, he went to a community clay class and found his passion and path. I loved his stories and his pots.

How odd...
We loved Malcolm and are sorry to see him go!
