Hello,

I have recently moved to Los Angeles and am looking for other potters in this
area. I just joined "The Potters' Studio" in West L.A. and would recommend it
to anyone looking for a good place to do work, as the people there are all
very friendly and knowledgeable. If anyone knows of any job opportunities
I'd appreciate ANY leads. I've worked as a studio assistant for many
wonderful people in Upstate New York (Mary Roehm,Vaughn Smith and Katea
Britten-Shaw) as well as at Penland School with Mary Berringer. I have also
taught several small classes in ceramics. Any information on people, etc.
in the West Coast area would be appreciated.

Thanks!
Zoya

We have the American Ceramic Society-Design Division.
I think that we have about 300 members and do all sorts of things like raku
parties, pit firing at the beach, shows, general meetings etc. etc.
Membership is $20 a year and you will get about 10 newsletters a year telling
you all about the club activities.
I know the Clayhouse as I used to be well aquainted with the previous owners.
I myself live in Sherman Oaks. There are a lot of members in the San
Fernando Valley and quite a few in Santa Monica.
For more info. please get in touch with Leon Bush (818)342-5487 who is the
membership chairman. or feel free to call me (818)990-9423.

Zoya,
You are welcome to come through San Diego and stop at my studio in Spring
Valley. I do functional and sculptural work. I know many potters in the area,
most work alone in small studios. David Cuzick Claycuzian@aol.com
