I just checked, and 6 out of 15 spaces are still open in the David =
Hendley workshop next week at the Appalachian Center for Craft in =
central Tennessee. Nine is a good number, but there's still room for =
more. And you get to go cliff-jumping with us. I won't be cliff =
jumping. I'll be happily floating on one of the new Sevylor air =
mattresses I just bought on eBay, watching the rest of you cliff jump. =
The lake is indescribably delightful right now. (you can see a few =
images of the lake at my website - clickable image in the header, and =
another small image on the "directions to the Craft Center" page).
You all know David from Clayart, and many of you know him from NCECA. =
Some years ago, David taught a very successful workshop here. The =
following week, Tony and Sheila Clennell were scheduled to teach a =
workshop. They had planned to overlap with David and Karen for a =
weekend in Nashville at the Opryland Hotel. Unfortunately, the border =
guards at Buffalo, in their infinite lack of wisdom, decided that Tony =
was more than the America public could handle, and denied him =
admittance. David agreed to stay an extra week to take over the =
Clennell workshop. We called all the participants and explained the =
situation, and all but one still wanted to attend. Mark Issenberg came =
up from Chattanooga and backed up David on the workshop, and those =

This is just my opinion, but for anyone considering attending my friend
David Hendley's workshop at the Appalachian Center for Craft in central
Tennessee, definitely go for it. David is a creative potter and a generous,
excellent teacher, and this is an opportunity to expand your own ceramic
skills and realize more of your potential.
I'd jokingly say to take out a bank loan to pay for the workshop, but after
reading the last 2 days' clayart, I know David wouldn't approve.
Actually neither would I, but if there is some way you can find the time and
the money, I believe this would be an excellent investment.
