The story-line/narrative behind the porcelain sculpted vessels of Antoinette.
There are times when the general public benefit from pottery demonstrations. 
Antoinette adjust her demonstrations to suit the need of the specific group that she is working with. 
The foundation of all her demonstrations is working with clay. 
Many times Antoinette will use clay to describe her own approach to relationships, or business or problem solving. 
Other times she is strictly showing the clay process as knowledge enrichment to adults and children. ​
There are times when there is a need for inspirational or spiritual discussions. Antoinette is a potter, she is not a pastor or a psychologist, but her life and work encouraged many people in the past and when she creates her work, she always wonder how other people will see it. There are analogies in the clay process that is applicable to human life.
