Crawdad Slip Sample - Jim Sharkey

I saw an article about Sid in the local newspaper in early 1999. He was giving a demonstration of his pottery work at a nearby school. So, I called him up and asked if I could do a documentary on him and he agreed which was great because he is so informative, patient, and talented which made my job so much easier. This was the first documentary I did on North Carolina potters.
