A small village on the Monterey Peninsula, an hour south of Santa Cruz. About twenty of Hugh Comstock's storybook cottages still stand in the village he started building for his wife in 1924. Hansel, Gretel, the Tuck Box, all under 500 square feet, with rolled-shingle roofs that ripple like fabric and chimneys that lean. Residents collect their mail at the post office; the village has never had street addresses. The streets keep their oaks. Tourists come for the beach and the mission. The cottages reward walking.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
