Hi
Didn't see any "places" in the archives, I guess they don't save them. I'm going
to Arizona for a week on Friday to see if it would be a good place to live. I'll
be in Phoenix area for 3 days, Sedona 3 days, Grand Canyon. Anybody have anything
cool I should see, shops I should check out, etc?
Thanks!

If you get a chance check out Bisbee in the southern part of the state while
you are there. It is an old copper mining town where the mines have shut
down about 25 miles from Tombstone. A lot of history and a lot of artists in
the area. Hard to explain the place, you pretty much have to see it to
understand. At the turn of the century it was the largest town between St
Louis and San Francisco and produced a third of the copper in the world. Had
streetcars, opera houses, John Wayne owned property there and I met Lee
Marvin in a local bar once. There are a few potters in town as well as
poets, playwrights, musicians, and all the other arts. May not be a place
you would want to settle but well worth a visit.

The Art Museum at Arizona State University in Tempe was given the Ann and
Sam Davis collection, a wonderful varied pottery collection, noteworthy for
works by Rie, Coper, Swindell, Saxe, Autio, etc. etc.
It is usually not on display, but they have told me that a private visit can
be arranged with a curator. By all means give them a call. It is
definitely worth seeing.

A nice day trip out of Sedona to Jerome would be well worth it if you have time. There are several working pottery studios and many galleries which sell local pottery. My favorite is the Raku Gallery. They sell the work of several potters as well as their own. Jerome is an old restored mining town about a two hour drive out of Sedona. Have fun...

Definitely -- go up to see Canyon de Chelley (sp?) (pronounced Canyon de
Shay) in the northeastern part of the state. I loved it and would go see it
again if time and money permitted.
Oh, and look up every evening, there are some drop-dead gorgeous sunsets.
If you like to work with wool, there are some beautiful skeins from local
sheep, too. I got mine around Tuba City.
Have a great time, I loved it there.

Hi Everybody!
I have a few suggestions, for the traveller to Arizona.
Enroute to the Grand Canyon, stop in Flagstaff, taste some home-made food in
the diner downtown, and walk along the boulevard, for some gallery hopping.
There are several galleries showing paintings, pottery and other ceramic
works, in the downtown "grid." Flagstaff is a college town, with N AZ State U
in the suburbs. Winters in Flagstaff are cold, with snow present in the
last/first months of the year. Summers are usually delightful, though.
The Painted Desert, which is along the route one takes to the North End of
the Grand Canyon, is undoubtedly the biggest display of "God's Ceramics." The
cliffs, naked mountains, and strata variations in the soil are simply
breathtaking. The Navajo Nation sees this area as sacred grounds.
In Phoenix, don't overlook AZ State University, in Tempe. There is a
collection of art museums, open to the public, throughout the campus. The
University Museum has a permanent collection, and usually a "road show" on
display. I saw a good collection of European modern sculpture (some metals,
some ceramic, some mixed media) when I visited Tempe about a year ago.
Best wishes on your journey!

The Heard Museum in downtown Phoenix has some nice Native American pottery.
Also in Scottsdale there are a couple really wonderful galleries that
carry contemporary stuff, specifically the "Hand and Spirit" and the
"Mind's Eye" near Fifth Avenue.
If you do head up to Jerome or Sedona, I am just off I-17 the northernmost
Phoenix exit...

This is more in the non-pottery line, but Bisbee has some B&Bs that have a
reputation for being haunted -- could be fun.
Also, Tombstone is a hoot. There's a re-enactment that's purely tourist
fun, but you can also nose around the real OK Corral and Fremont Street of
the shoot-out location(s). The real Bird Cage Theatre is there, as well as
one of the original saloons. And of course, Boot Hill is there.
And then there is the San Xavier mission, which is utterly stunning, if
you're going to that area.

Hi.
Another kewl place to check out is JEROME. It is an old copper mining town.
The mountains are wonderful, the town is colorful, full of history- a great
old bar where the bartender is the next door neighbor of Don Reitz. He
called him for me and i got to chat with him. Further up the mountain from
jerome a couple miles is a forgotten valley where there used to be a mormon
settlement. It is a phenomenal place with lots of picture opportunities.
