Hello Folks,

I'm sending this message on to the group on behalf of Ginny Marsh.
She is selling her studio in southern Indiana. The property is
for sale if anyone is interested, but she is also selling the studio
equipment.
Wheels, ball mill, electric and gas kilns...
Ideally, all items would need to be picked up this month between July
15-31.

She is currently living in TX. So all sales and arrangements are
being made
through a third party. Brad Curtsinger and Amy Fernancez are
handling the
on sight details in Indiana. You can reach Ginny in Texas at
972-771-1106.
She is often away from the phone during the day, but will return all
messages.
Make your arrangements with her and she will see to it that either
Brad or Amy
meet you in Borden, IN when you pick up your items.

Below you will find a list of items Ginny is selling with
descriptions and prices.
If you are interested in anything just give her a call.
