CLAYART buddies,
I'm back from a lengthily absence, Please list cone firing ranges. I'm
guessing this is a cone 10 and might like to play with it, but I just hate to
guess what cone it is, the uncertainty detours my creative thinking.

Back from another Chicago trip the sculpture & pottery at "Pharaohs of the
Sun" show gave me heart flutters, but I did notice the pottery and sculpture
workshop areas in the layout of the city looked too small to me. Some things
never change.
