Link to Smithsonian’s Complete Oral History Interviews

http://www.aaa.si.edu/collections/interviews  

I have posted below the links to completed transcripts and also a photo of each artisan's work.  In a separate posting I will list other potters/ceramic artists who have been interviewed but not yet transcribed.  Those will be added in the future when the Smithsonian makes them available.
