I love Willard's rich surface design... The patterns and colors are so graphic and expertly paired, and all the texture and patch-working reminds me of old quilts or Marimekko textiles (the artist is inspired by a variety of textile traditions). Sometimes pottery with that 'patchwork' feel can be kinda hokey, but not Willard's work. These pieces are relaxed and modern and so cheerful.

I love these pots too! To borrow Steven Colby's phrase, "These are pots that I'd wished I'd made"!!
These pots are amazing. I second Michael Kline's comment.
I keep thinking of these...serious impact!
