I am an ex-urbanite who escaped the city life and has lived for the past 28 years in a rural, mountainous area of Virginia that in colonial and early-American times was part of the "Backcountry." This is the true melting pot of the U.S.A., its culture and traditions dominated by "born fighting" Scotch-Irish immigrants and enhanced by German, Highland Scot, Dutch, Welsh, and yeoman English settlers. Having absorbed and inculcated the history, values and views of the Backcountry, I would like to share insights, information, and viewpoints from the place where America began. - - Jay Henderson

Thanks Jay and look at that tomato red!
That is what I would like to see back coming out of our kiln!
I love the bottle in your office- very nice there.
Beautiful pots, all of them, especiallly the tomato red, and nicely displayed on the shelf.
We love our Whynot Pots, too!
