That fact was obvious on Saturday as nearly three-dozen local potters were showing off their wares at the Tallahassee Pottery Market event.<\/p>\n<p>Those artists and hundreds of their creations were spread out both outside and inside the United Church of Tallahassee on Mahan Drive. Debbie Lightsey specializes in wheel-thrown vessels that serve practical, every-day functions. Although she insisted every one of them is a unique, individual work of art.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve never made a set of anything because someone will say, &#8216;I want 4 bowls.&#8217; And I say, &#8216;You have to use the approximation method, because this is all handmade.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And some of Lightsey&#8217;s work could even be around centuries from now. The oldest piece of pottery ever found was in the Czech Republic and estimated to be nearly 30,000 years old. <\/p>\n<div class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2024 WFSU<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":20770,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","wds_primary_category":0},"categories":[],"tags":[1137,1135],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.3 -
