Clayarters,

I'm thinking of subscribing to a ceramics magazine again in order to get
monthly ideas, tips, techiques, and to inspire me to make more ambitious
pieces. I'm interested in pottery and glaze formulation, and not as
much in sculpture, molds or exotic firings (since I'm restricted to
electric firing).

The three magazines I know about are:
Clay Times
Ceramics Monthly
Pottery Making Illustrated

Are there others I don't know about? Which magazine do you think would
be best for my interests?

Thanks!

Josh -

I subscribe to all three ...... but at this point I favor Clay Times.
I feel it closer to the place where most "potter" potters are. It is
not a lot of artistic doublespeak.

I find Clay Times to be one of the best magazines for ideas and help.

If you expect to engage in any way the sale of your work at art shows,
etc, you will want to add The Craft Report Magazine to your list.
Excellent mag dealing with all kinds of crafter business issues.
