I am a 44 year old potter with 21 years experience with clay, 16 of
those in production situations. For 8 of those years I was involved in
every aspect of the production of utilitarian stoneware and porcelain with
incised slip decoration. The last 8 years in the manufacture of stoneware
tile, my responsibilities included production, custom fabrication, design
of the process, glaze development, studio organization, managing work flow
and maintenance. The work incorporated hand made tile, extrusions,
mechanized press molding, deep relief press molds and mosaic. These being
produced in Craftsman era style with crystalline matte glazes.
I guess I'm in the midst of a mid-life crises and am certain that I
would like to return to making pots. This message is a part of my search
to find appropriate situation in which to pursue this. I'm financially
secure for a year or more and willing to relocate anywhere I find a
situation in which I could accomplish my desires. Some of the options I am
considering are shared studio space, cooperative studio, paid employment in
a studio or tile shop close to a cooperative studio or with access to the
studio for my personal work, rental of an existing studio, assistant in a
studio in exchange for space and partial materials, work with a tile
manufacturer in a locale where it would be it would be feasible for me to
establish a small residential studio, an internship in a production studio,
or a residency in exchange for my knowledge and skills. Concerning
employment monetary compensation is not my main concern, I'd just like to
find the right space.
The purpose of this note is I'm hoping to receive some assistance from
you in locating some options I'm not aware of, a studio potter willing to
share space or looking for reliable and competent help, available space in
a cooperative studio, tile person in need of assistance or any interesting
possibilities that I might be overlooking. Any help or guidance you can
provide me in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You in advance, Kelly
