Hey Ron, My email program has a weird bug that won't alow me to send emails so I will respond here. The newletter look real good. Keep it coming. You are right that your pots are coming along....quite well if you ask me. I'm glad to be in a world where there are people like you and Sarah. I think you would be well rid of ACC shows and most others. I know they keep some people alive but they hurt us all in that they enforce an aesthetic driven by bottom like economics instead of what is in your heart. It takes a pretty strong person to buck that trend. Besides that there are much better ways of marketing. I think anything that puts control of the market in the hands that make the wares is better. (Sorry, Wendy Rosen.) I'm still selling 90% + out of my studio. The only exceptions are some special shows at galleries and a designer in Salt Lake I have worked with for years. My word to you and all other craftsmen is take back the markets. Adios, Joe the Potter www.horseshoemountainpottery.com
