I am sure that on our list there are at least a few who have had articles
published about them and their work in ceramics magazines.
I am curious about how having your work featured in one of the major ceramic
magazines affects your life and business. If you have an article in CM with
pictures of you and your work and process, do people or galleries beat a
path to your door .? Does your work become more saleable and can you demand
more for your pieces? Or is it just a small addition to your resume with no
direct results? It probably varies, but I wonder if there is a general
consensus about this. Shelley Potter

Shelley - This is in response to your question about publication. I was in
Ceramics Monthly in 1996 with a feature article. It resulted in five
invitations to show. Recently, I was in Studio Potter, (black and white) =
and
have seen no noticeable results. It varies a lot, but that shouldn't stop =
you
from sending your work in and trying to get it published.

So, a sincere thank you to all my readers for your kind support.

You just never know what might happen as a result of something like an
article in a magazine. I've written and been the subject of several. I
can't say they ever really produced much business, but every once in a
while somebody tells me they still have one of them tacked up on their
studio wall for inspiration. I love that. Just a few months ago,
someone on this list mentioned to me that they had saved an article I
wrote in 1978 or so.
That article also produced a really long-range amazing result. A woman
from Baltimore read it, and the next time she was in Seattle visiting
relatives, she came to Pottery Northwest looking for me, to buy a teapot
like one in the article. She had just gotten out of grad school and had
no place to work. Pottery NW was an entirely new concept to her, and
she was so inspired she went home, gathered her friends and started
something similar. Her name is Debbie Bedwell and the place is
Baltimore Clayworks.
You just never know.

Ivor,
I think all of your readers thank you for some really great
articles. They are full of information and great techniques. I have found
them very helpful, not only for myself, but for helping others. I look
forward to the next one.
Thank you for sharing your experience and technical skills.
All the best.

I've had a similar experience to Ivor and I'm sure neither he nor I heard of
each other until Clayart.

Paul,
Add me to the list of those who saved that 1978 Ceramics Monthly article
you wrote. It inspired me, and I referred to it for years afterward, and
it still lives in one of my ceramics notebooks.
I enjoyed your sharing of the experience with what can happen as a
result of something like a magazine article. To take that a step further,
if we only knew of the ramifications of everything we do in life, I think
we would be truely amazed. David McDonald
