"Handmade clay containers like those from Double M Pottery (photo at right) lend warmth and originality."

"Pottery has taught me to enjoy the process and let go of certain expectations."

"Our favorites include wares from Double M pottery: The pastel-patterned, lead-free glazes are all handmade in California, and the mugs, plates, and bowls are all dishwasher-safe."
