Joyce Potter Email & Phone Number

The freedom of creation is quite a gift. To be able to do it and to share it with other is quite exciting. Even though I am not doing shows anymore, I still have people stopping me in the street and asking if I would make this or that for them. At 71, it is still the thrill to make someone happy. Once an artist, always an artist. I have worked preparing for shows which you need about 4,000 dollars worth of merchandise just to do the show. That takes a bit of time to work and be creative. I like one of a kind, because anyone can make the same thing over and over again, but coming up with something no one else has ever seen, that's the trick, if you want to call it that. To catching people's eye. I still enjoy doing that. I use a scooter to get around in these days, and I wear a hat that keeps the sun from causing any more cancer. But that hat got boring very fast, so started creating my own designs and change them when I feel the need. People have yelled at me at stop signs "Hey Love the Hat!". Those who know me, know me by the hat. And those who do not know me, but love the hat, always comes over and are so sweet and kind and some even ask me if I will make one for them. I can never say no. It's just in me to do it.
