renewed interest in hand-made
functional objects. In Austin, there
seems to be a growing regard for the
independent craftsman. A new
optimism about Austin's future as a
craft and cultural center has resulted in
the establishment of self-supporting
workshop/galleries where work can be
made, shown and marketed to the
public.
• Westbank Pottery (901 W. 10th
St.) is such a place. A partnership of
four--Rodney and Pamela Newton,
Paige Adkins and Robert Ayers--have
just opene(i, a new showroom next to
the studio spaces where they have been
working for several years. Their work
is high quality and includes, along with
free .dtchen ware and planters, small
flutes and animals. Prices range from
$1to $40.
