for sonoma valley potter lynn mahon, the source of creativity he draws upon is the land and vineyards surrounding his wine country studio. come along as we visit lynn's outdoor gallery and see the potter himself in action. my studio is set in the middle of thirty acres of vineyards. i'm on the border of napa and sonoma counties. so, my studio is in napa county. my mailbox is in sonoma county. lynn mahon's the artist in residence at latour vineyards. while his location among the vines may seem picture perfect, the art he's making here is, by his own account, anything but. there's a tendency with ceramic artists that they want to make perfect vessels. they want everything. they want things to match up. they want to be recognized for the same things. where i really like to undo things. i like to, to make them so you can't. i mean you'll recognize that it's mine because it looks so crazy. and it's so chaotic. i, i add chaos to the perfect pot. a quick peek around lynn's studio confirms it -- this guy's art is free form, not unlike nature around it. and occasionally, downright dinged up. i
