Hi All,
I just recently accepted a new job and it involves moving to Boston.
When I haven't been totally overwhelmed by the thought of selling
our house, moving , starting in the new job, finding a new house,
and getting ready for the arrival of the baby that is due in 4 months,
I have been wondering what sort of cooperative studios/guilds/classes
are available in the Boston area? I will be working in downtown
Boston so my wife and I are open to living in pretty much any
direction out of the city as long as either the T or the commuter rail
is within a reasonable distance. In addition, given the reality of what
that baby that I mentioned earlier is going to do to my schedule, I was
also wondering if there is a outlet for used equipment (wheels and kilns)
in the Boston area?
I've been doing clay in my off hours for the last 7 years and for
the last couple of years have been a member of a guild in Plymouth,
MI. If you could please e-mail responses directly to me that would
be a help because I have been too busy recently to keep up with
all the clayart mail.
TIA,
Tom

Mike,
I lived in Boston for quite a while in the late 70's and early 80's.
Part of me misses it greatly. It is a tremendous and inspiring place. It
has a sense of history like nowhere else. I went to the Museum school while
I was there. There was a lot going on then. There was a co-op/studio
called Clay Dragon that would be worth checking out. There is also the
Potter's Shop in the area. I'm sure alot has changed since I moved to
California in 1984 but I'm sure it's still a terrific place to be an artist.
People appreciate pottery and ceramics there in the Northeast. Your move
should prove to be a great one!
Best of luck and good fortune,
Eric Suchman

Hey everyone,
My partner took a job in Boston and I am moving out with him...I'm not
throwing away ten years together over a job.
I have to move my studio from New Mexico to Boston. Does anyone have
knowledge of studios for rent? I'm open to a warehouse, retail store space,
or going COOP or sharing. I am a full time potter and will be moving my
business to Boston.
Are there any potters organizations in Boston or New England?
Any help is very appreciated.
Thanks!

Mike,
I am in Boston, actually Cambridge, and you can contact
me for more information, as you like. I have my own
studio here.
It is sweet that Eric recalls Clay Dragon Studios. I was
a Dragon. We folded when the building was sold to
developers in 1985. Mudflat was in the same building.
they moved to Somerville and are alive and well with a
school and Studio space. There are other group studios
and schools as well.
As mike said there is the POtter's shop in Needham,
Radcliffe Ceramics studio, and more.
When are you moving?

Hi Mike,
I used to live in New England for seven years, I lived in Mass. for 3 of
them.
Boston is really, really expensive to live.
I would look to the 'burbs. Their subway system is really good.
