wheel review update to the list

Ceramic Design Group on sat 15 jun 02


We completed the review and survey of 35 models of electric wheels in May
with a great turn out of about 40 potters at our facility in Steamboat
Springs for a weekend of throwing, camaraderie, and conversation. My thanks
to the many people who participated and to my entire staff for helping stage
this project.

The entire event was quite an informative and educational process. Everyone
learned a great deal. There was a great selection of wheels here. I think I
covered all the bases!

The written review and survey is now being edited and will be published in
the July 2002 Potters Guide/Pottery Making Illustrated from ACERS.

We made about 450 bowls during the weekend for our empty bowls project. We
are starting to bisque them and will glaze them over the summer.

The empty bowls dinner part of the project will be held this fall.
