Can anyone in that area of California please tell me which airport
served by a major airline is closest to Mendocino?
I've looked on Expedia and Travelocity; even checked the US Pilots
Airport Guide and the nearest I can find is San Francisco. That's
at least three hours driving time south, from what I can see. There
seems to be one in Ukiah (UKI) but neither Travelocity nor Expedia
recognize that code.
Hmmmmm.....and I thought _I_ lived at the end of the earth .
Anyone?

I figured out that San Francisco is probably the closest airport pretty
quickly .... once I realized the workshop was in California. I know,
Mendocino is a pretty recognizable name, particularlly if you are fron the
area (it IS a regional workshop) but no where on the flyer does it have
the state, or even the town (Mendocino is also the county). Looks like a
great workshop. And a great escape from the snow in January!

Hmmm, Wayne, the closest airports i could find using Yahoo were
Cloverdale Municipal, Healdsburg Municipal and Sonoma County Airports.
You'd still be looking at a bit of a drive to get there. Don't know if
there are flights to them from SFO or not. San Francisco is 150 miles
from Mendocino. Sacramento is 188 miles from Mendocino. It's been years
since I've been through there.
I have been studying this since I got my brochures in the mail
yesterday. Only thing is it is the same weekend the Sacto Potters Group
has our annual Seconds Sale. I already signed up for that, but if
Mendocino looks like a go, then I am sure someone will be happy to take
my spot and my seconds (and glaze tests) can keep for another year.
Here is some information on travel that I found:

Wayne,
If you need three letter airport identifier codes to help your quest,
contact the Federal Aviation Agency Flight Service Station (FSS) there
in Key West. They have all the codes for the entire United States.

Yes, Mendocino is in the middle of nowhere. I go there often for
workshops. Be prepared for heavy traffic from SFO to Santa Rosa. Try to
time your flight not to arrive in the late afternoon/early evening, and
especially not on a Friday afternoon! The best way is up 101 to Highway
128. 128 is pretty, but one lane each way, so hope you don't get behind
someone slow. There is a small airport in Santa Rosa, and there might be
hop flights from SFO to there.
I've never taken 20 past Clear Lake, but if others are saying that isn't too
bad, you might fly into Sacramento instead.

Ilive just north of San Francisco. I certainly do not recommend Rte
1. It is mostly a narrow winding road along the ocean cliffs and is
positively scary in places. It would take all day to drive up on it.
The best bet from SF is to start out in the morning no later than
noon or possibly 1 PM and go up 280 to Rte 101 in SF and on through
Santa Rosa. At that time traffic is not bad. 65 MPH is usual. Through
the Santa Rosa city limits, speeds are a bit slower. As you get north
of Santa Rosa traffic should be ok at that hour.
After 3 PM, 101 through Marin is grid locked and you go about 5
miles an hour through San Rafael as the early commuters try to get
home to where they live in affordable housing a long way north of SF.

This has got to be a typo. How are you at skydiving. That is the only

By the way - don't call it Frisco. Really riles the natives. The only
ones who can get away with calling San Francisco "Frisco" are sailors.

I think he meant to say he could get a direct flight from Orlando to San
Francisco but not to Sacramento. He should go ahead and drive north from SF
on 101, and at some point cut over to Hwy 1 and head for Mendocino.
Catching a flight from SF to Sacto and then driving from there to Mendocino
would be a waste of time and energy. (However, for those who can get a
flight to Sacto, I would recommend that and then taking one of several
scenic routes over the coast range, avoiding the whole SF scene.)

Quite so...
Or...one may call it..."The City" also, as many people used
to or maybe still do...
Las Vegas in it's way, has it's name-rules...almost no one
as lived here any length of time ever called it 'Vegas'
unless refering to things that belonged to it...like to say
'the Vegas' smog' or something. Otherwise it was/is allways
Las Vegas.
While people who do not live here often call the City itself
merely 'Vegas' as if to put themselves on a first-name-basis
with it maybe...
We have almost grid-lock too now...'Vegas traffic' as it
were...

heeheehee! I always found it interesting that Frisco was frowned upon
as an abbreviation. In "Sacto" we either call it The City or SF.
Now Sacramento gets called Sacto because that is the common postal
abbreviation one uses when one doesn't want to, or have room to, spell
it out.
We had a kid's TV show host in the 50's and 60's who flew in every day
in his jet (not really, of course!) and was called Captain Sacto. Since
many people can't or won't say Sacramento (Sackamenna seems to be more
common), Sacto is perfectly acceptable to us locals. Sometimes it is
known as Sac, SacTown or even Sacratomato (referring to a large
agricultural crop grown in these parts). We mostly just like it when
people acknowledge the fact that we ARE the capital city of the state
of California.
And no, I still have not actually seen "Ahnold"!

Tom -
I don't think you really meant to say "direct flights from Orlando to
Mendocino." I was trying to imagine that. Whoo, what a world. And if you
drive "down" Highway 1 you will never get to Mendocino. It's 160 miles
north of San Francisco. Also, if you were to cut ovfer to Highway 1 north
of San Francisco, it would take you all day and into the evening to get to
Mendocino. It is a very slow route.
At any rate, if you fly into SF in the late morning, it will be an easy trip
through the city in your rental car, and then it is a pleasant drive up
US-101 to Cloverdale, northwest on Highway 128 to the coast, and finally
north on Highway 1 a bit to Mendocino. You will do the whole thing in
daylight, and that is always best, because it is a beautiful drive. As
mentioned in an earlier message, it is about 20 miles shorter from SFO than
it is from Sacramento.

it that regularly in his column.
Although San Francisco is more of a world class city, Sacramento has its

Clayarters,
I highly recommend if you are able to take Rikki up on this. On my trip
down the coast in July I met with Rikki and toured the Berkeley Potters
Guild. It is a wonderful co-op facility and the pottery is amazing!
Rikki's pottery is better in reality than on the net!! I even got to
meet clayarter Maurice Weitman and see his wheel trim catcher, a bonus!
Rikki is a warm and gracious tour guide! Thanks again Rikki!

Ah ha, Anne! A fellow CSU Sacratomato grad! We will have to reminisce
offlist sometime.
The Potters Group has several original members still active in the
group. I like the meetings very much. It's an opportunity (before i
found Clayart especially) to "talk clay" with other clay artists and
potters every couple of months. And take group field trips to see
interesting things - for example, last year a small group of us toured
the Berkeley Potters Guild, had lunch at Chez Panisse and had a great
time.
I had a group emailing sent out regarding the Mendocino Workshop, so i
hope it will pique the interest of a few members. Only thing is it is
the weekend of the group's annual Seconds Sale (which is normally the
"second" Saturday in January, but a scheduling conflict pushed it to
the third Saturday next year). And probably the folks who would be most
interested in the workshop are the ones who generally participate in
the sale. A group member friend is going to take over my spot in the
sale (and hopefully get rid of the seconds I am going to send along
with her!), so I am covered.
I think this is going to be a fun and informative workshop and I am
looking forward to meeting some of the folks whose messages I have read
and whose works i have enjoyed only "cyberspacially" up until now! And
to hear the famous "Cobalt Blues" song, of course!
I have not made room reservations yet as I am not sure that another
Sacto clay friend might be coming with me or not. I should know soon.
That Emerald Dolphin place sure looks nice! Okay, everyplace up there
looks nice!
Can't wait!

My wife and I are considering going to the workshop but when I went to the
web site, there is no mention that I could find of the cost. So far, I have
been unable to download any of the pdf documents to see if they have that
information. They keep coming up as unavailable.
Does anyone know why the cost is not simply listed as part of the blurb on
the index page and what the cost might be?
Thanks,

Michael,
I agree.... The cost should be listed in the main info page. Instead, it is
on the registration form, which is here:
http://www.ceramics.org/secure/meetings/2005PCWorkshop/register.asp
Cost is $200 for non-members, $150 for members of the Potters Council. The
registration form allows you to join the Potters Council ($35) at the same
time you're registering for the workshop.
Hope this helps!

Michael,
You didn't say if you had tried the www.potterscouncil.org/mendocino
website.
About the Mendocino Workshop
January 13 6-8 pm Registration and Opening Reception
January 14 Continental Breakfast & Welcome Orientation; Workshop
demonstrations
January 15 Workshop continues
January 16 Farewell Breakfast
The Potters Council brochure gives these prices for the workshop itself:
Workshop registration:
Potters Council Member $150
Non-Member (join today and save) $200
Join Potters Council Today and Save $35
Four Hotels are listed, but when I called the prices were not always the
same as listed. Let me give you the hotel names and the toll-free phone
numbers:
Mendocino Hotel 800-548-0513; www.mendocinohotelcoast.com
Best Western Vista Manor Lodge 800-821-9498 (inexpensive)
Emerald Dolphin Inn 866-964-6699 (3 nights for the price of 2)
Super 8 Motel 800-206-9833 (the least expensive)
Generally, people take flights into San Francisco, Sacramento, or even
Fresno and then drive up to Mendocino. The drive up from SF is on Highway
1-- beautiful be very slow. Most of take the central valley route up I-5
and then cross over to Mendocino on the coast on (I think) 120.
Hope this helps, Michael.
