It seems time to mention this upcoming workshop again... Thanks to a
spate of late cancellations there are several spaces open. Details
follow, but for complete info on this workshop follow the link to my
website:

http://www.McDowellPottery.com/workshops.htm

There remains a reduced fee position available for a person to take
on some extra duties in meal preparation. In years past Vince has
served as
BBQ Chef extaordinaire, and I'm pretty sure he'll want to continue
that tradition. The whole group contributes to a kitty and from each
those efforts they are willing to share to put on lunches and
dinners throughout the week. This person needs have a car with them,
as they may be asked to make occasional shopping errands. They will
also be in charge of setting up the dishwashing station where each
person will wash their own dishes. This person will qualify for
participation in the workshop at half the normal fee. Contact me by
email if this position is of interest.
