He accumulated enough of his own work to sell in the Colby Craft Fair in October. " [Selling my pottery] allows me to con- tinue to work and have some place to put my things. I definitely feel like I have the best job on campus where I can be creative and do something I really enjoy," Kulmatiski said. Kulmatiski said that it is wonderful that people both enjoy his work, and pay for it, too. He stressed, however, that he doesn't like to be part of consumerist trends and he doesn'trecommendthatpeoplebuyhis things if they're not going to use them.
