Ilene -
No, you didn't miss anything. There was nothing about bringing your own
clay. Students will purchase their clay onsite for $8 per 25 lb. bag of any
of our mixed claybodies, or $5 per 25 lb. bag of luscious stoneware recycle.
These clays and prices are only for our academic program students and for
workshop participants to use onsite or to take a bag or two home.
Best wishes -

In case anyone is considering signing up for my extruder class
at the center, I thought I'd mention why it says in the catalog,
"Materials Fee $30, payable to instructor".
Since we will be spending time making extruder dies, every student
will receive a set of tools for fabricating dies from aluminum.
You will end up with a nice jeweler's saw frame, 2 dozen blades,
and a set of jeweler's files to take home with you.
My class (July 8-12) is the week before Tony's (July 15-192). Come
to both and you will be able to show Tony some new ways to "handle"
pots the next week.

I'm going to the Clennel's workshop in July. This will be my first
experience with the center. So, if anyone more experienced with the center
could comment....
The instructions that I just received said that we would need to supply our
own clay so I'm assuming that no firing will be done (no cone number
specified). Improbable given the time restrictions anyway. So, do people
generally take their greenware home with them, and how do these pieces tend
to travel?
Also - the Mama Lea's Cafe flyer says to contact them if you have special
dietary needs, low-fat being one of the special needs listed. I'm not on a
strict diet, but do like to generally go low-fat (who doesn't these days).
Are there generally low-fat selections available without having to call
ahead?
Next year - I'm planning on making this a yearly pilgrimage, and my husband
is attending next year. He's going to try his hand at glass crafting. I
know the center doesn't accommodate families (housing), but can spouses room
together or do the dorms keep the sexes separate? We're staying on campus
one way or another. In fact, it might be fun to have to house separately!
I'd love to hear from anyone attending the same week.
Thanks ahead of time for any responses,
Valerie

Workshop participants generally buy their clay on-site. We stock a variety
of claybodies that we mix ourselves. I'm not sure which one Tony and Shiela
want to use. And they are planning on doing a single-fire cone 10 salt or
soda firing. There is plenty of time to fire in a five-day workshop. If
you are driving, then it is no problem taking greenware home with you. If
you are flying, then you only take what gets fired unless you can figure out
some other way to transport greenware.

Lea Bryan and her co-cook Faye generally cook very healthy - super
high-quality food. There is always a big salad bar, and you could just
select the entree items that meet your requirements. You won't have any
problem. The food is excellent.

You can do it either way - together or separate. It is no problem.

I won't be there then, because I'll be out somewhere in the Western deserts
talking to a cactus. But you are welcome to email me any additional
questions.

To anyone going to the Appalachian Center for Crafts...
The food is great. The staff is wonderful. And if you get a good
instructor, it can't get much better.
Don't go expecting night life, except the night life in the pottery studio.
Enjoy the clay, and the company.

Dear Valerie: I too am attending the Clennells workshop. I hear they are
awesome! As for shacking up with your husband just tell your room mate that
when the walls are rockin, don't come knockin'.
the Big V is thinkin' about sneakin in a salt firing mid week so at least
bring a bit of high fire so we can send you home with a salty ewer or or a
hillbilly bourbon cup.
As for diet, I just don't want to see grits beside my low fat fried eggs.
Looking forward to meeting you.
See y'all.
