I have read that several potters in the San Diego area have lost studio
and home to the recent fires.
The Nottingham Center for the Arts was established to promote the studio
arts in San Diego County and we have a large ceramics facility. If any
of you know of someone here who has lost their studio we would like to
help. We can provide some studio space and lots of kiln space for those
in need.
Please contact me with their information, or have them contact me, at
tsullivan@nottinghamarts.org
or call me at: (760) 734-3913 ( my personal phone ).

Dear ClayArt Folks,
The huge fires in the San Diego area mean I know two potters who lost
absolutely everything -- house and studio, glaze formulas developed
over years of work, tools, equipment, and a lot more -- to these
enormous fires. This does not even include other artists who have also
lost everything. The situations of these artists is particularly
poignant for me as I am on the board for the Craft Emergency Relief
Fund (CERF). I read overwhelming applications from craft people across
the country who tell us how as little as $1,500 can be so helpful (we
go as high as $8,000). I just talked to an artist from Maine last month
who said CERF got $1,500 to her within such a short time after her
accident that it made all the difference in paying some bills and gave
her a huge psychological boost too.
So I have a suggestion. What if everyone on ClayArt gave a donation of
any size and we made a difference together? Imagine what we could do?
If you want to join in, send a check to CERF today:
CERF
POB 838
Montpelier, VT 05601
In the memo of your check put: "CLAY ART DONATION." CERF will keep
track of the amount we raise and I'll let you know what we were able to
do by Jan 15.
If you want more information about CERF, check out their web address:

Thanks so much for reading this and I thank many of you in advance for
your tax-deductible donation.
Warmly,
Lana Wilson

It might be useful for CERF to get an online payment account (like =
PayPal) to make it even easier to contribute.
Just an idea...
