Not having any luck getting to the sale/project. I see Ayumie Horie's
work, but none of the Obamaware. Ebay tells me there is no such
category as Obamaware.
I''ll be happy for some hints or suggestions.
Thank you.

I apologize to those of you who may be offended or disinterested, but I did
think this was important to post. There is a link to an essay below, which
is also an important and intelligent read for all potters.

Potter Ayumie Horie has put together a terrific project/sale, involving 27
renowned potters. The sale is live for 3 days here:
http://stores.ebay.com/Obamaware

Artist Bios are here: http://www.ayumihorie.com/obamaware.html. Also very
interesting and a "must read" for all potters: Sarah Archer's wonderful
essay on "Kitchen Table Politics" http://obamascribe.blogspot.com/

The preview has been up for a while, and the work is stellar. Again, I
apologize to anyone who may be offended, but jeez, it's exciting to see
artists express themselves.

Oh, please. Please, please, please -
keep your political opinions to yourself,
or, discuss them with someone(s) OFF LIST.

Annoyed? Yes, I am. Offended? Yes,
I am.

I don't care WHAT your politics may be.
This list is for other stuff. There's a million
blogs and sites to deal with politics. Everybody
and their brother has opinions. Good. Tell
'em all about yours. On the sites meant for that.

DR: I think you're getting confused. So far I don't see a lot of opinion on
this thread. It seems to be factual.This thread is about pottery,
politically themed pottery and an essay about pottery and politics. Is this
not a legitimate theme for this group. I think so.

Hey Lois, et al,

Apologies for entering this late I was set to no mail for a while.
I was signed off Clayart during what I heard was a bunch flaming
responses to your
posting. I just wanted you to know that in my opinion it was
perfectly legitimate and on topic.
I was in Tucson at a Richard Notkin workshop. Should his or anyone's
work be banned because
it's a political statement! I DON"T THINK SO!!! Clay is clay! And the
work on the site is/was stellar!
