This section is for CAPA Memories; to honor members who have passed on but whose spirits are still alive in their paintings and our hearts.
We'll also be remembering other porcelain artists, who, while not being members of CAPA, were contributors, teachers and dear friends. These kind people took the time to share their knowledge and gave us the tools, information and courage to learn and hopefully pass on this honorable art form to following generations.
CAPA members, please feel free to share by submitting articles, photos and/or history of artists in your community.

Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time ;
Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate ;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1838
