Hey all you potters out there -=20

At our Arrowmith Potters Guild studio over this past week-end we were =
the beneficiaries of the knowledge of, our now new friend, Ian Currie =
from the Land of Aus.

To say we were "blown away" would not even nearly reach our thoughts =
after this man put us through our paces over the two days of the =
workshop.

If Ian is anywhere near you wherever you live, please do not miss your =
oportunity....... you will be sorry you were not there.

The workshop is total "sensory overload" but when you get a chance to =
sit down and start going back over all that was said and demonstrated =
(all the demonstration is done by the participants in the workshop) it =
very quickly opens ones eyes to the possibilities that never were part =
of our consciousness prior to the workshop. As some of you may remember, =
I have a 30 cu. ft. Bourry-box downdraft wood kiln and I cannot get to =
the testing for new glazes that I want to try out fast enough. Imagine, =
one recipe, and then be able to see, visually, 35 different recipes =
based on the one only. Need I say more.

Just get to see Ian Currie!

There are still a couple of spaces left for the Ian Currie workshop in New
Mexico. If you've been wavering, see Les's posting below, and don't wait
any longer!
