Sorry to bother the list again so soon, but Vince felt that I had spoken
improperly with regard to the experience requirements for the intermediate
throwing workshop. Indeed, some questions have already come up in that
respect. Please allow me to re-post with a corrected phrase regarding
experience requirements. Vince does not want this to be a beginning throwing
class. This is for people who have already begun to learn the wheel. If you
have any questions about your qualifications for this course, I'm sure Vince
would be happy to consider them individually and determine if this course is
for you. Just ask...

Although all the pertinent information is posted. I could use some photos in
JPEG format of Vince at the wheel and/or some of his wheel thrown creations
other than the slipware I have used to illustrate the throwing workshop page.
If anyone has such images that they would be willing to share, please send
them on to me.
