Hi All,
One thing that I've been up to which is not clay related, but hopefully our
dear moderator will post this anyhow, is an online survey for my Research
Methods in Sociology 2 class.
We are studying Jamband fans. I thought that there might be some Jamband
fans (Jamfans for short) who are also potters. Also, I know that there are
many professors on this list. It would be extremely helpful to our study if
anyone on this list who is a Jamfan would go to the following web page and
take our survey. Also, if you are a professor it would be wonderful if you
would put our web page address on your bulletin board, as many college age
students are Jamfans.
http://www.jamband.vh.primushost.com
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Linda
PS If anyone is interested in printing a copy of our flyer for posting on a
bulletin board, please contact me off list. I would be happy to email a
copy of the flyer file to you. (Or snail mail a few already printed copies)

Well, Linda, it would be even moderately helpful if your link worked! Not
knowing what-is-it a "jamband," I've been trying diligently for the past 5
days to get to your site--no luck. Of course, being neither a jamfan nor a
professor, mebbe I'm not entitled... (!)
Then again, perhaps you're researching something else entirely--our
persistence in trying to reach an unreachable goal, a sort of
lab-rat-in-a-no-exit-maze project (that would be my Null Hypothesis). In
that case, here's a site you may find
interesting: http://www.pagetutor.com/idiot/idiot.html

Carl,
I'm sorry if you are having trouble with the web site. Certainly anyone
should be able to reach it and take the survey!
I'll type it again, although I couldn't find any typos...

Has anyone else had trouble accessing the site?
If so, please let me know!
Linda
ps. the frustration level of pagetutor certainly is how it feels being
online sometimes!

Your first message included a "www" in the URL--that was the problem!

Thank you Carl and Ashley for noticing that! I didn't even see the www's. I
must be so used to addresses starting with www that my eyes just pass over
them. Again, my apologies for the frustration i caused you.
Ashley, thank you so much for forwarding the survey page to your friends!
We researched the topic all last fall and couldn't find a single
professional study on Jamfans. Lots of magaizine articles, etc. But not
studies.
---------------
as far as glaze mixing goes don't forget to run it though a screen. I use a
60 mesh.
A few years ago I was doing a lot of raku. my rakuing partner liked to make
large shallow platters and wall plaques in addition to wonderful sculpted
animals. Anyhow, she would lean them against a post. Can fit more in a
firing that way and they came out fine. Wonderful in fact!
As far as tea bowls go, I've never actually touched one. I can certainly
understand the comfort of cradling one within your hands as opposed to
holding onto a handle. In a previous post (couple years ago maybe) someone
posted that in winter the tea bowl had a thicker straight wall and in summer
it would have a thinner slightly flaired out wall. One to help retain heat
the other to help cool. I always liked that level of thought.
Linda
