I know we started this group/co-op that sold our pottery together at the local Tailgate Market sometime around 2010.

Here is a blog I posted about us in 2016 Market for Mudbuddies.

Our booth was close to the entrance at that time, and we enjoyed how our different styles attracted different pottery lovers.
Here's a blog with our different styles of pottery, all on display on three tables.
I often visited the Mudbuddies booth in the following years, here is 2017 on one Saturday morning.
At some point the makeup of the crew changed again, with Pat Levi resigning and Amelia Packer joining by 2019. Marsha Cozart had moved away probably around 2017.

...all the mud buddies had their own visions.
