Dear Helen,

I've been checking into your websites now for several years, and have
copied out each e-mail you send for a notebook. "For when I have
time". I'm hoping to have more time as I get older, but for now I dip
into the most interesting ones, and sometimes follow the links they
provide and can immerse myself for hours in the vast universe of
pottery. We recently updated our AOL and have a new IMac and it is all
of a sudden so much easier to click on the websites. (Before I had to
type them in, and you must know how easy it is to mix that up!)

I just want to say that I really value your contribution to ClayArt.
It is an education just waiting for us all. I have a rather narrow
focus on functional pottery, but I love many other kinds of work from
all places and all ages, and find it all sifts through eventually to
find a place in my heart and work. Thank you for opening our minds and
eyes to so much beauty and craft.

Sincerely,

Ellen Currans
Dundee, Oregon.

Hello Ellen,

Thank you for expressing how my posts work for you. I couldn't have said
better what I hope for by sending these surfing links.

Regards,

Helen
