A film by Thomas Wick for New Hope Celebrates History
Artists and Authors Series

A documentary short on the life of artist Jennifer
Miller and the superpower of bringing people together in common purpose to
create.   In 2001, Jennifer founded Earth Center Pottery, which
evolved through the years into The Tyler Park Center for the Arts located just
outside of Richboro, Pa., in Bucks County. The film not only reveals her life
story and art, but behind the scenes footage of her students and fellow artists
creating pottery.  It also celebrates the art of creating community
and purpose.  Jennifer says when making pottery, the clay, the firing and
the moment suggest the piece.  The film, beautifully written, directed and
edited by Thomas Wick, shows that her success in creating community derives
from the same ethos.  She allows the people around her and the moment to provide
her choices and embraces them in centering her life and community.
