David Shaner Interview MR. WILLIAMS: What motivated your interest in clay in particular? MR. SHANER: Well, I really didn’t get involved
in clay until I went to college. However, looking back, I remember if
we had to bury any dead birds in the garden, if we dug down more than
18 inches we hit clay. And I’m not going to tell you that I made
pots with that clay, but I do remember modeling little animals and birds
and stuff out of the clay that we would find in our own yard. Clay always
felt good to me. Whenever I would start a project with a painting or
a blank sheet of paper, there was always a certain fear about what am
I going to do. But with a piece of clay, it just seemed like it was
automatic. You just started working and it was a wonderful thing. I
sensed that early on. |
