Hi Kathy;
In Canada we buy it at any local convenient store that sells magazines and
papers. I don't know if it is published in US but watch for any local
papers in your areas that has for sale or second hand sales items. Estate
sales are a really good source. The family selling the wheel or kiln
usually get rid of everything else that relates to pottery. We bought a
wheel for our guild for $250.00, and when we got there to pick it up they
threw in the kiln, molds, glazing materials, tools, kiln furniture, 3
wedging tables, many books and bats.
You have to be really fast at buying. When we spot the ad we phone right
away and tell them we will take it, sight unseen, and then we get cash, and
boogy our buns to pick it up.
Perhaps the US has a similar publication under a different name. It is a
weekly newspaper, where people sell items from their homes.
As a potter or guild looking for equipment this is an excellent way to
build your stock at a reasonable expense, but as a potter nearing 60 I find
it pretty sad. I'll come back and haunt my family if they do this to my
equipment when I go. However, in reality, this is my love, and the rest of
the family are not into clay at all, well, except for my grandchildren who
love to play with granny in the mud.

The golden years have come at last, I cannot see, I cannot pee,
I cannot chew, I cannot screw. My memory shrinks, my hearing stinks.
No sense of smell, I look like hell. My body drooping, got trouble pooping.
The golden years have come at last, The golden years can kiss my Ass.
