Pandemic spurs library to show and sell artistsâ clay creations
BROOKLIN â It was very much by chance that Odette Heideman fell into the craft of making pottery.
For years, the Naskeag Point Road resident explained, her husband had given her gift certificates for facials and massages that went unused. Heideman floated an idea of something she might like to do, so he gave her a gift certificate for six lessons with a potter in Sag Harbor, N.Y., where they used to live.
Heideman, who had been working as a literary editor, took the classes.
âI was hooked,â she said. Then the San Francisco native decided to get serious about the craft. So, she embarked on a two-year course of study at Clay College in Stoke on Trent, England, where she learned about materials and the basics of having a studio. That was 2018-2019.
