The ring jug is turned on the wheel, it's hollow on the inside, and the reason it gets

2
00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:08.840
its name ring jug is because it is in a ring.

3
00:00:08.840 --> 00:00:16.560
And back in the Civil War they used them for water flasks, to get over the saddle horns.

4
00:00:16.560 --> 00:00:21.240
But now we just use them for decoration.

5
00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:26.360
They need to hold water or whatever you decide to put on the inside of them.

6
00:00:26.360 --> 00:00:32.640
Folk pottery to me is somebody that has not been formally trained, and it's passed down

7
00:00:32.640 --> 00:00:34.640
from generation to generation.

8
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.920
If you go to school on it, I don't think that's folk pottery, then you're trained for it and

9
00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:39.920
everything.

10
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:45.840
Lenore Edders married my cousin, and he used to come by the store, my mom used to run a

11
00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:51.160
grocery store down there, and he brought a vase jug to buy one day, and I was just a

12
00:00:51.160 --> 00:00:52.160
kid.

13
00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:56.280
But he called it an ugly jug, and I says, one of these days I'll grow up and I'll make

14
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.360
me a pretty jug, it won't be ugly like that.

15
00:00:59.360 --> 00:01:03.480
But I think that's when it first struck my interest, is when he started bringing things

16
00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:04.660
by and showing them.

17
00:01:04.660 --> 00:01:07.400
I'm not a mass producing person.

18
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:12.480
I might make five or ten pieces that look similar to each other, but after that I'm

19
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:15.000
not going to make them no more, I'll just go to something else.

20
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:24.120
I feel a lot of time in my work, and if you went by time it'd cost a fortune for it, but

21
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:28.200
I'm not doing it for the money, I don't think, I'm just doing it because I enjoy it.
