Good Morning . At Nceca one year I bought 2 hand held extruders to use in m=
y classroom. The kids have somehow managed to separate the cap on the worki=
ng end of the extruder.These extruders are made by Scott Creek. I emailed t=
hem last week and called them this week to find out the best way to repair =
it as we use them all the time in class. Scott Creek has not responded to =
the email or the call. Are they still in business? Does anyone one know a =
good way to reach them? Has anyone else had this kind of problem with the h=
and held extruders? I think what happened is they kept clicking the lever l=
ong long after the clay was gone> I have pictures of the problem since a pi=
cture could explain the problem probably better than words.
Thanks to all who have some information for me

Hi Kathleen -=3D20
I am curious if you Googled it, because when I did, the second listing =3D
clearly says that Scott Creek is a division of the Clay Art Center in =3D
Tacoma, one of the best clay suppliers in the Pacific Northwest. They =3D
are very responsive to customer needs, so give them a call.

AFAIK, Scott Creek is currently distributed through
Tacoma Clay Arts. They're probably a good source
for info. Not sure if they own Scott Creek or not.
