John,
Speaking of good jobs, I really liked your article in Clay Times on the
importance of community art centers. It helps that it is the wonderful one where I
work in the summer and that they used a picture of my shino bowl. Seriously,
it is a good article and highlights the importance of an often undervalued
resource.

I also was pleased to see that article even though the little center where I
work was not mentioned. Our center which is The Orange Art Center in Pepper
Pike (yes, that really is the name), Ohio in the eastern suburbs of
Cleveland is a lovely little jewel nestled in quiet woods, friendly and
great, supportive teaching.

Hello Jackie, John and all -
This is indeed a wonderful article. I teach at such a center - Moshier
Community Art Center in Burien, Washington, between Seattle and Tacoma. The
instruction is first rate, the facility (which has been ongoing for at least
40 years) is stunning, our Art Specialist, Gina Kallman, continually
provides needed updates to our equipment along with wonderful, talented and
inspiring guest artists who lead great workshops there. In fact, Gina has
spearheaded our relationship with Seattle Tacoma International Airport!
Last year a number of us contributed teapots for an exhibit there. This
year, there is an exhibit of "outsider art" at the airport produced by some
of the folks in the special populations art class at Moshier. This is truly
amazing.
At Moshier we fire to cone 5 (electric) and to cone 10 in reduction. We
also run raku firings once or twice a quarter. One can come and learn to
handbuild, throw on the wheel, make plaster molds, take a class on
alternative firings, and so on. There are classes for adults, teens and
young children.
Also, there are painting, drawing classes, and this summer there is a great
mosaics class happening.
Some years ago, King County ran this art center and at some point decided to
close it down. Many of the potters there went to the County and then to the
City of Burien to let them know what a jewel they had and how much it
provided for the community. The result was that the City of Burien took
over running it. Because the City of Burien funds this art center to a
small degree, the fees for classes are quite moderate.
I believe the list provided in this issue of Clay Times is a great start to
a directory of art centers everywhere. I would be willing to take this on.
I realize I have no great computer skills, and my organizational skills
could sure use an upgrade. Anyone willing to throw their hat in the ring
along with mine?
Thanks for listening. You all are fabulous and I am proud to be a part of
Clayart.

Vicki,
I think that's a great idea. I work at the Long Beach Island Foundation of Arts and Sciences in
Loveladies, NJ in the summer but there are a bunch in Philadelphia where I live. I started at The Clay
Studio. Around the area there's the Wayne Art Center, the Mainline Art Center, the Wallingford Art
Center and in NJ, just across the river, Perkins in Moorestown, NJ (?)

Lynne -
If you'd be willing to send me addresses, phone numbers for these art
centers, I'll add them to the data base I'm starting. If there's a specific
person to talk to at any of them, that would be great as well. Also, what
is available at these centers (wheel throwing, handbuilding, reduction
firing, raku, salt, soda, etc.).
Many, many thanks.

Hello Claybuds!
Well, with the current listing in Clay Times and the messages I've received
from a few folks out there, I am constructing a database (sophisticated
term, I'm sure) that is the beginning of what I hope will be a far-reaching
resource for all of us and for others! There are others!
Soon I'll have this project in the kind of shape it needs to be to publish
it!
Thank you so much, and keep those messages coming.

Vicki,
That is very nice of you. I have searched on Google and found many centers I
never knew about. There are tons!
The Long Beach Island Foundation is really a gem. They have some of the most
outstanding artists/students I have ever seen. I think that they represent
the new art center student, one who is intelligent, sophisticated and very
well educated in ceramic techniques. The needs of the students are changing
and I think that instructors have to adapt to those needs. The centers are
adapting and I think that the future is very bright for ceramics education.
Some of the people who take classes at Long Beach Island Foundation had
photos of their work featured in the article. Mark Walnock, Lynne Berman,
Maria, Dianne, etc are only of a few of the outstanding artists who work
there.
Best of luck with your database!

Hey all,
If everyone on clayart could post to Vicki privately - art centers that
they know of --she would be half way home with this project. I think she
wants:
Nmae, addresses, phone numbers, email, web site address.
If there's a specific person to talk to at any of them, that would be
great as well. Also, what is available at these centers (wheel throwing,
hand building, reduction firing, raku, salt, soda, etc.).
There are so many centers that may get missed without your help.
