Hi,

My name is Morty Bachar and I am the Director of Lakeside Pottery, School and
Studio, in Stamford CT. I was glad to see that you offer a Steven Hill
workshop. We also have a Steven Hill workshop in October 2003 but I am not able to
reach enough people to register for the 2 1/2 -day workshop. I wonder how
can I reach wider audience in the CT / NY area where some might attend the 2
1/2 day work shop. I hate to think canceling the workshop - Steven Hill is
wonderful.

Morty,
Your prices are to high for the average potter.

I don't know where you are located, Fran, but $285 is relatively cheap
for a workshop.

Morty'
I'm in Greenwich, CT. Not too far from you. I have been interested in
visiting your facility. I have a studio in my home and I pot at Silvermine and
ClayArt in Portchester. Good luck with the workshop. I hope I have a chance to see
your facility soon.
