Dear Dannon, Lisa, Mark,Katie, Phil and the rest of ClayArters,

in reply to some of your quiries:

Lisa,
I have put your name down as available"head" for pitfiring=20

Dannon,

We would need 10-15 participants (including the "head") to cover all the =
expences.
And yes, the amount is $500 USD.

As to the advertising programm, well the first though that comes to mind =
is to advertise on lists like this one (expanding to other countries, =
ceramic associations , universities, ceramic mags etc.), and it will =
definately need time to grow and seep into the ceramic world, but time =
is something we do have (at least here in South Africa),
>From speaking to the prospective investors it appears that any available =
funding might take 2-3 months to become available , and then there's the =
constructions, extentions etc, I would say we are looking at starting =
the workshops sometime halfway throu' the 2001- that gives us time to =
start advertising, scheduling, looking into available "heads" etc.=20

And if all goes well , our ambition would be to invite the sought after =
"heads", who charge more then our offered fee - but by that time we =
might be able to afford them.

Mark and Katie,
I have put you guys down on our "perspective participants" list, and =
will keep you updated.

Thank you all for such a warm response, it's great!

Cheers for now,
Joanna
