Please visit Shaller Gallery in Benton Harbor, MI where the remaining works may be available. As always, you can reach me at : johnglick at johnglick.com As for the fresh opportunities awaiting Susie and me in California, we are excited to be close to children and grandchildren, with a new part of the country to explore together. Our work and interests will evolve through this change, and we believe it will be invigorating. Most importantly, I want to thank you for the warm, generous support you’ve given us over these decades. As a student, my dream was to live within and enhance my community through making work that I cared deeply about. For over 50 years you, your families, and friends have graced our studio showroom and our Open House events in this historic setting. You’ve used my pots in your home, given them as gifts, and shared with me how my work has been part of your life. Through you, my dreams have been fulfilled. Thank you for being in my life, and being in the story of Plum Tree Pottery. With great thanks. John Glick Susie Symons TRANSITIONS:
