Marty -
You will be traveling I-40 from Nashville to Knoxville, I imagine, and the
Appalachian Center for Crafts is only a few miles off I-40 about 60 miles
east of Nashville. Watch for the big brown signs at the turnoff for Highway
56/Smithville. Head south on Highway 56 about six miles, and turn left
immediately at the end of the big bridge over Center Hill Lake. We have a
large sales gallery, three exhibition galleries, and beautiful grounds.
Unfortunately I will not be here, because I will be on my way to conduct a
workshop in South Carolina. But if you see anyone in the clay studio,
invite yourself in and take a look around. It is well worth the stop. We
also have a nice cafe which serves a good lunch.
Best wishes -
- Vince

Hi Marty,

When are you going to be in New York? I would love to meet you, if
possible. I am going to be away next week and part of the following week.

Russel Fouts had posted a list of Clay places in New York on Clayart
sometime ago. I don't know whether you saw it, but it might be of interest
to you. I had saved it and have added it here. Some of the places are not
of any interest to you, but some of them may give you an idea of what you
would like to see while you are here.

From: Russel Fouts
Subject: Pottery In NY

Sure are a lot of people doin' clay in Manhattan!

This is the list I was working from. Thanks Frank Martin, Gil Freedman,
Jane
Aebersold, Lois Rueben Aronow, Keith Chervenak, Frank Gaydos, Karen G. (you
were right!) and everyone else.

I didn't end up working anywhere although I still think it would have been
possible, spent much of my time just LOOKIN' and talkin' (see above note to
Karen.). But I did make some pinch pots with Rusty Riegelman.

I didn't get through the whole list and some of it's from the Yellow pages
and unchecked.

Saw a great exhibition at Dai Ichi of pots by Okazaki Takao and Charley
Callas and bought a wonderful sake bottle from Okazaki. Garth Clark had
some
of Georges Jeanclos' beautiful figures and the American Craft Museum had a
great exhibition of Canadian Craft with some terrific large bowls by Steve
Heinemann

Marty: Stop by the Torpedo Factory in Old Town, Alexandria, VA. All kinds
of artists at work including Scope Gallery which is a cooperative all clay
gallery. Good eating places. If you like seafood, the Fish Market on King
Street is good, but there are many other ethnic restaurants: Greek, Indian,
Ethiopian, French.

The Hand Workshop in Richmond, VA is an education center and gallery. They
do a lot of clay there. Baltimore Clayworks is definitely worth a trip.
All clay: studios, gallery, school, supplies. They have great exhibits
every day in their gallery. When in DC, stop at Renwick Museum. Have a
great trip. Barbara
