Hi All,

I would just like to say for those of us who take part in open studio shows
every year that have a fixed date such as the first two weekends in May, or
the four weekends before Christmas, the dates don't work for us. I really
would love to join such a tour, especially with friends such as Mel in
attendance, but I can't give up what is a major show for me. I suppose the
dates have been chosen with issues in mind, such as weather, NCECA, etc, but
perhaps a late February-early March, or shorter tour could happen sometime.
Maybe the southern part of China in the winter, northern in the winter. We
who have studio shows are available in the summer months.
Just a suggestion.

Best to all, Rikki

Hello...
With the current scare of bird-flu, and it being most
prominent in that part of the world...what provisions
are there in case the tour needs to be cancelled???
What about a personal decision to cancel? (I've never
cancelled anything)

I don't scare easily, but the article in National
Geographic made me stop and think.
