[Clayart] Clayart Digest, Vol 2, Issue 23

RE:  My two cents

Whoa!  I work in isolation and thank clayartworld every day for a sense of
connection and wonderful insights and new information.  I just received two
off-list responses on my dream studio query (thanks Douglas Fur and
Jennifer Stein) with fabulous suggestions that I would never have thought
of.  Never has a question of mine gone unanswered, and a lot of them were
basic questions, too.

And I've made wonderful friends through the list, too.  People who have
given generously of their time and talent (and support).  What's not to
like?

I think flailing away at Vince should be over, too.  Jeez, he has given
tirelessly of his time and knowledge and shared so generously.  I've never
met the guy, but I'd invite him to dinner in a heartbeat, just to say thank
you.  That goes for all of you.  Come on down!

We all have different needs at different points in our clay journeys.
 Let's get over ourselves and start talking about clay again and helping
each other with a generous spirit.

Ann, busy making lists for the new studio.  :-)

Ann Kenworthy, nearly in Amherst
