Kossi Pottery and Ceramics. African-culture creations share space with Greek and Mediterranean vases. All handmade. This guy is an art student by his own merit alone and even leads community college classes. He's a genuine master, though you don't talk much. He just gives you a nod and lets you look at whatever you like. It's a slow day, and during the work week, so you have the place all to yourself. Red and white clay, in all colors and styles, even Native American.
Meryl looks at a plate that has a design that reminds you of images you've seen associated with Seattle. <span class="mu-b">"Hey, I recognize that!"</span> She points at the plate. <span class="mu-b">"Black Cod?"</span>
The man shakes his head from the sketch he's preparing. "Original. Though I did meet some Haida Gwaii."
<span class="mu-b">"Hm. I thought they were part of the same culture group,"</span> she frowns.
"You guys aren't looking for wedding plates, are you?" the artisan asks calmly. "We just had a couple come through, so you'll be in a line for a while. It takes a while to make a full set- I could get you a standard design in a month." He holds up a hand. "Alternatively, if you just wanted a centerpiece, I could guide you through it. A couple's gift. You'd have that by the end of the week."
Meryl likes that idea. <span class="mu-b">"Oh, we don't even need to use that, we could put it on the wall. Your thoughts?"</span> Your family has never been a fan of heraldry, but something the two of you could call your own is appealing. <span class="mu-g">It would be a permanent reminder.</span>
>Use the town's seal- you forget what it is, but you're sure they make plates of it.
>The Cier family doesn't have anything, does it?
>Forget old-timey seals, the two of you can take a day to sketch something out.
>By the way, is Coach in?
>By the way, another couple?
