I am very inspired by the Artist "Claire Lerner" from California. I actually worked in the Metlox/Poppytrail factory in Manhattan Beach, CA. when I was a teenager, in 1972. I am now a pottery artist and I do a lot of hand building. I never saw pottery than inspired me more than Claire Lerner's. I would like to know if you know her history at all, if there are any books, etc. about her. I have many of her pieces now, the shapes and colors fascinate me. If you have any answers I would love to hear from you! Thanks, Sharon
