Everyone:

I am going to be in Santa Barbara California from March 14-22. I would
love to know if there are any "must see" pottery sites in the area.

I'm moving to Santa Barbara in the summer. Are there any clay studios where
I can pay a monthly fee to work?
Or community centers with lots of studio time available?

Are you ever in luck! As noone seems to have responded to your request in
the week since I last turned on the computer, I can tell you that Santa Barbara
has the most wonderful Pottery Studio in a former school. It is part of the
California Adult Education Program administered by SB City College. Fees are
very low so the program can be enjoyed by all. There are masterful teachers
there and the comradeship is waiting for you. There are programs of varied
interest in the Adult Ed program other than pottery to entice you also. Enjoy.

swell pottery studio at Manatee Community College in Bradenton, FL

PS There is an annual Fall Empty Bowl lunch you will want to be part of that
Danyel Dean (a teacher) will describe to you.
