Hello to everyone.
I understand this listserv is not specifically for someone like me, but I
have been surfing the web for some information and this is the best I have
found.
I am currently taking a beginner course in ceramics in a local art center and
I absolutely love it. I want to continue, but I am moving to Poland in July
( I currently live in New York). I am wondering if anyone out there knew of
any ceramics arts teachers/courses. I am truly sad to have to end something
I have only just begun.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Hallo, Maureen!
I just check my daily pile of messages from the Clayart Discussion Forum yours
among the other 81. I am Polish, living in Ontario, Canada, and have been a
potter for the last four years - this is a good part. The bad one is that I have
no idea about pottery courses in Poland, as I left 12 years ago and my interest
in pottery was born here. When I was there - availability of all sorts of
hobby-passion-self development - evening-part time courses was close to none, yo
would have to find an artist or craftsman to teach you on some private basis or
maybe join the Arts Department of some university. Switching to the good again -
the situation may have changed during the last few years. I know a name of a
Polish potter (educated as a ceramicist in Poland ) who lives in my area - I wil
try to locate him and and find out if he knows anything about the present
situation in this field. I will either pass the information to you or give you
his phone # or e-mail. Give me a few days.
Does it sound OK?
Sincerely - Hanna Lewandowski
Auburn, Ontario

This list is exactly for people like you, and your problem.
Whether or
not anyone on the list can help might be a different
story. I hope
someone can.

Maureen,
I can't offer you advanced info on who to look for before you arrive in
Poland, but I would like to offer you something else. When you get there,
and as you find your way around and get to know the places your paths
take you, keep your eye out for shops that carry pottery, and the
potter's workshops too. You may be surprised with what you'll run into,
given a little time. During my travels in other European countries, and
Japan, I just kept my antennae up for pottery, and there it was. When I
found a place with pots in the window, I went in, and with whatever means
it took to communicate, I soon found out where to go to find the potter.
I've found myself directed to dozens of places this way, and of course
potters the world over are of a very similar breed! Very easy going,
generous, and glad to have someone come by who is so interested,
especially from so far away. I believe you could certainly find a new
situation for learning and working in clay again too. Just because Poland
is a former Soviet block country, and still struggles to find it's own
way in the modern world, does'nt mean that you won't find opportunities
for learning ceramics there. I know two Lithuanian brothers who are now
in the US, and making their livings in clay here, who were ceramics and
art teachers in Lithuania (Poland's neighbor)before coming here.
According to them, the arts are very strong and important in that area of
the world. I wish you much luck, and good adventures! David
