His e-mail is: eric@clayimco.com
He not only gives a great workshop, but is General Manager of IMCO
(Industrial Minerals Co.) and has been very generous with technical
information!

I too have attended John C. Campbell
and highly recommend it. The workshop
I took was being taught by a first time
teacher(first time at John Campbell) All
the workshop participants were asked
to fill out a form rating the teacher, the
subject matter, in other words, the
workshop itself. I found out, had she
not gotten favorable reviews she would
not have been asked back as a
teacher. She must have, because she
has been back the last two years. I
know I sure felt as though I got my
moneys worth. =20
I have also attended other locally held
workshops including one where Vince
was the teacher. Very well organized,
lots of written material (I am a reader
and as such retain much much more
when I can read something and let it
sink in) to take home and use later
as reference notes. Learned a lot.
Now I can do variations on pit firing,
based on Vince's demonstration and
notes. I can make terra sig that=20
actually stays on the pots and=20
burnishes beautifully. And I know
volumes more about ancient vessels
than I ever did before. =20

PS Nice story about the spider Vince, I=20
have no quarrel with spiders. We share
studio space with the understanding that
they stay in their corners, I shake boxes
to give fair warning for both of us and all
are fine. I am constantly finding large,
very large spiders (they look like wolf
spiders) trapped in my sink. I usually
rescue them, set them outside and give
them a second chance, But if I came
upon one the size of your spider, well,
I guess I would just, ,,,,die!

I too,attendant the workshop given by Eric Struck, "Throwing Large".
Informative, small, cozy, hands on, and plenty of laughs, Morgan Britt
owner, of "FireArt Clayworks" hosted the event. Great job!
" Spiders" reminds me of the days, where we would come across blankets of
migrating foothill tarantulas, while building a family and homestead in the
golden foothills of the Cenral Valley of California. The first couple of
times, we saved many, waiting for them to pass. Then other times, we'd forge
ahead, only to think of the meal that was at the end of our journey both for
kids and the surrounding wildlife. Richard Ramirez, "The Clay Stalker"

My daughter just returned from a Summer school semester at Cortona, Italy
sponsored by Univ. of AL.....102 American students, 25 American teachers
were there. The classes were wonderful, the weekend trips included "the
best of Italy"....but there were scorpions in the convent where she slept.
After about one week, she was able to sleep at night, in spite of the
tip-tap of tiny SCORPION claws on the stone floors. But, I'll never be able
to forget the panic I felt when she called from across the Atlantic with a
trembling voice, to tell me about the scorpion in her shoe! It was a great
program which, if I were qualified, I'd be signing up to teach !!!!
