Ken loved working all things malleable – making soil blocks, throwing pottery, making bread, black smithing ( which he said was like making taffy, but it’s too hot to touch), mudding sheet rock, laying and grouting tiles, etc.
When a musician friend asked Ken to mud some sheet rock Ken said, “Sure! Just get a bucket of sheet rock compound, and call me.” Ken answered the call, and the friend loved to tell the story as follows, “Ken knelt,opened the bucket and said, ‘Aaaahhh! MUD!’ Spoken like a true potter!”
