Hi all...

This has been on my mind a while now...to mention...

The Magazine is called "Works and Conversations" and is into
it's 6th. Number presently.

It is conversations the Editor and Publisher has with
practiceing Artists, and includes many
first rate images of their Work.
It is not allways an easy task TO converse with Artists,
either! ( as we may well know...)
But he does so very well somehow.

The conversations are never phoney or foo-foo - they
read as good literature may be expected to do, and they are
'real'.
Some of these Artists work in Ceramics, and others work in
other kinds of things.

The entire mood and content is substantial, frank,
personable and also delicate in it's way.

Nothing stuffy anywhere ever, and I would say for me, it has
been very inspireing to help me understand my own Work and
the Work of others, better than I would have otherwise.

I hate Magazines for the most part, and periodicals in
general.

I am very fond of this one, and so it makes sense for me to
say so.

It has no advertisments to confuse the reader's
sensibilities as to 'what' the Magazine is (really) about.
It respects the subject and the reader in a very real, and
yet easy way.

I admire what this fellow is doing, and I am happy he is
doing it.

It is the only Magazine to which I subscribe.

Their web site is:

The Editor and Publisher is Richard Whittaker, a resident of
Berkely, California, and a sometimes participant of the
Clayart 'list'.


Regards...!

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president,
or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong,
is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable
to the American public."
