Dear Clayarters,
I am looking to further my education in pottery and would like to find an
excellent program overseas. I am applying for a one year scholarship that
allows me to choose the school and I want to find the best program I can. I
already have a Bachelors of Visual Arts and am seeking a one year
certificate program or a Masters of Fine Arts (depending on funding for
second year). I have a strong interest in wood/salt firing and would love
to find a program that is strong in this area. I am interested in almost
any country as long as my scholarship will be applicable; it will need to
be an english speaking country or english taught. I would love suggestions
as to where to look on the web or books I could consult. I have had some
trouble with the regular overseas study websites because what I seek is so
specific.
I appreciate any help in this regard and thanks in advance,
Cindy Romanski

I missed your post, but if you are looking for post graduate college
courses abroad and would consider the UK, please see my post in the
archives "Re: Ceramics Graduate Programs in UK and Wales" which I submitted
back in October 2001.
Janet Kaiser - Come to think about it, I typed all that with addresses and
contacts details and not a word of thanks... Seems to be quite a common
thing these days. I even had an abusive father e-mail me the other day,
because I had the timerity to say the brusk "I am doing an art course. Send
me photos of work by XYZ to this address: ...." without a please of a thank
you, would probably have more positive feed-back if the recipient were
asked politely.
