Barbara Taylor’s Connection with Clay

Posted in Artisan Products, Artisan Stories, Video by Indra | Email Email

Barbara Taylor is a talented potter specializing in the use of red clay. I met her at One-of-a-kind-show and absolutely fell in love with her work. I got to know her a little more when I interviewed her for this segment and was deeply moved by her personal story. Her meticulous research in the methods and uses of clay are evident in her work and story. LifeSpices is proud to introduce Barbara Taylor as the first artist in our series of Artisan Stories and her work will be available for purchase on our recently launched marketplace starting May 28th, 2007.

To celebrate this launch we are hosting a Father’s Day (June 17th) contest.

Post a comment here telling us why Barbara’s hand-made terra cotta wine cups is the perfect gift for your father or if you are a father then tell us why you think these would be a special gift for you, and we will enter you in a contest to win a set of four 4 oz wine cups. Please read the rules of the contest, by clicking here.

The video approach is a bit accidental, I had my notebook with me and took my handycam as a last minute thought. As we started the interview , I was taken by her expressive style and asked if I could just roll the video tape and so here it is my first video production… (…it is about 10 minutes so fill-up your coffee or tea, relax and enjoy!)
