Thanks Tony for your wonderful post about your upcoming residency at Medalta.
To immerse oneself in work, trying out a new idea, or having the
chance to concentrate in an area that excites you, without
distractions! And also to be able to communicate with other potters
whose work you respect. What could be better? (O.K.folks, I know for
some things it might be a draw).
It would be very interesting if other people who have had residencies
at different schools or potteries would make comments on their
experiences.
Liz,
still in a deep freeze, been snowing all day, would love to get a
firing in before NCECA, but the weather is going to be a problem, if
it doesn't improve. I do have MUGS though, not to worry.
Surely it will be warm in N.C.
