I starting reading Clayart before I moved back to California at the end of
1994. My studio partner in Maryland got me interested in it & ironically she
hasn't read it for years. In the course of the move I stopped Clayart only
to have it mysteriously reappear on Halloween 1995. I've been here ever since
. . . . I sometimes wonder why certain people whose emails I have enjoyed
disappear. I don't post often, but I do enjoy the dialogue.

i had just bought my first computer and remember the

and making one little line drawing on my computer

I went to the Fort Worth NCECA. flew standbye and
shared a room with Marcia and Louana Lackey and i

i remember marcia told me all about the clayart room.
so i went there and there were 2 people in the room.
One was an outgoing broad faced man with whitish hair
and wearing a suit. i didn't know him and he didn't
know me . he was talking to the other person , who I
think was Feriz Delkic.
he did however take time to give me a big hello and
say welcome to the clayart room and he gave me a black
and green ITC pen.
by the way. if you can believe it i still have that
pen and i still use it and it has NEVER gone dry...it
is so weird, especially as i lose pens all the time.
but i still have and use the ITC pen.
well, hmmm, mel doesn't remember me from then but i do

anyway i was shy, if you can believe it, so i said

I can too. I've been on Clayart since before we could all meet in
one room for breakfast. I had been going to NCECA for years before
that and, like Mel, was frustrated knowing there were other studio
artists like me wandering around, but having no way to connect with
them, except when NCECA would happen to have a discussion group for
us (which wasn't often).
My wife got me a modem one year for Christmas, specifically so I
could join Clayart, and wouldn't have to have friends post questions
for me any more. After about a week, I was telling her how much I
loved Clayart, and she said, "Of course you do- it's NCECA every
day". That was such a perfect description of it that for years after
that, Joe Molinaro used that to describe Clayart. It's true- all the
joy, excitement, frustration, and nonsense that is concentrated into
a few days at NCECA happen all year long here.
I must say that Clayart and NCECA have been very good for each
other. Clayart has probably done more to increase buzz and
attendance for NCECA than anything else in the last 10 years. And
that contact with the academic point of view has broadened the
horizons of a lot of people on Clayart. And nothing has made NCECA
more fun and more rewarding, and contributed more to the feeling that
potters are one big family, than the Clayart room at NCECA. We, and
NCECA, owe Mel a huge thanks for making than happen in the first
place. And we owe a huge thanks to ACerS and ITC (am I forgetting
anybody? if so, please jump in) for picking up the tab now.
See y'all soon in Louisville.

even though i am not a frequent poster i have been reading
clayart since aournd 1997 or 1998. i was one of those lurkers
who read but didnt dare to post in the beginnning. i have
found that the people on clayart step up and beyond to help
their fellow potters. they have alway rallied behind someone
who has trouble or is ill.. thats what has made clayart so wonderful
place to be. i have seen potters come and go on clayart but somehow
they always find a way to come back.. i have seen it in several of
the posts lately.
i remember after reading clayart for some time i was so excited
when someone asked for a glaze recipe.. i didnt have the
knowledge to contribute much and there was finally something
that i could add to the wonderful group.
when i first found it online i went all the way back to the beginning
and read every post that had been posted. that challenge took me
several weeks to do as that was back when they charged you for
how much time you spent online so my time was limited. i also
printed off alot of great knowledge from alot of great potters.
i still have that notebook stuck in a book shelf. i guess i need to
go back and read who all was writing into clayart at the time..
who gave the wonderful glaze recipes and how to's and help.
see you all at nceca!

When I first joined Clayart when I when back to college in 1997 and had
computer access thru them. I when to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I
joined up on Thursday and when I went to school on Tuesday I could not
access my email due to the amount of posts I had, it clogged up the college
system and they had to delete my account so I could access it again. I
don't post much to the list, but do send comments off-list and read on a
regular basis. I have learned much over the last 10 years! Talk to me at
NCECA, I can relate to what Mel said about walking around NCECA and not
knowing anyone, yet knowing there are a lot of folks from clayart there.

Hi, all: Which year was the Rochester NCECA? Short of writing a post to
Richard
Burkett for the date it started, the yr. before Rochester, we assembled for
breakfast.
Suzanne Wolfe and I talked about getting to know some of the others on the
new list.
I got the hotel restaurant to give us some long tables at the back and
there were about
20 of us. I have snapshots somewhere of the group around the tables.
At that same NCECA, I believe, Joe Molinaro and Richard had a room for us
to learn
"etiquette" for the list. They gave us handouts. I only remember: Using
capital letters
was like SHOUTING and not advisable.
The next yr. Paula Sibrack Marion arranged a room for a Clayart breakfast;
that is where I met Russel to
whom I had written once or twice. Who is Russel Fouts, I asked, looking
around the table. He rushed over and
hugged me and we have been strong friends ever since.
Getting a Clayart room and then a suite from our benefactors is thanks to
mel who took over
the list when Joe and his wife, Mary, became overwhelmed and Joe was going
to South
America again for the summer. And thanks to Joyce and all the others who
sub for mel.
I read the list when I can and ignore it when pressures are great. It has
been my community to
a great extent. It has helped me through deaths, that of my husband and
then Ababi's,
about whom several of us corresponded trying to get a website of his work
and writings
in his memory. Oddly, I had visited him in Israel the April before he died
and
noticed that his hands were shaking badly and wondered how he could have worked
in clay. He didn't any more, I realized later.
Clayart helped me when I busted my kneecap
and I learned how to use the hospital computer and found posts even from
Alisa in
Denmark. A best memory of that: Russel phoned the hospital long distance
just as
my surgeon was walking in for a checkup. I said: Sorry, I have an
international call
and could you please return later? He didn't, but I think he was impressed.
I could list so many other memorable stories but had better look in on my
chores and
packing for the trip to Louisville and looking forward to seeing roommate
marta (!!!) and
so many other good friends and meeting some of you newbies!

The memory wheels are churning, but slowly. I remember Abibi's
posts, an endless discussion on terra sig (and being disappointed to
learn it was only used on low fired pots - I was such a newbie :) )
indecipherable glaze discussions, lee in a pig's eye - (didn't
realize that was the same you - lee love!) and Richard Burkett who I
finally got the hyperglaze program from - and who has always
patiently answered my questions. There were always recipes with
tantalizing names as well, more than I ever had time to test. Clayart
amazed me from day one.
When my husband first got on the internet he used a free service that
was dial-up and text only. I was amazed at the hours he would spend
just reading all that text! Could not imagine the fascination. No
one we knew had email then, and it was before ebay was a household
word. Our computer was small, black and white, immobile and SLOW!
But then Jerry talked about finding a clay group and signed me up. I
was clueless what he was talking about, but was soon fascinated by
the endless discussions, though too shy to comment or ask a question
for eons. I think we finally jumped in to ask about whether or not
to have a studio cat despite our allergies. Anyone remember that?
Some great stories followed on studio companions!
Over the years, I have learned much from fellow clayarters, and have
participated on and off as time (and access to the computer (husband
just finished grad school) permits. I try to tell as many potters I
meet as I can, as clayart is a wonderful community.
Thanks for the trip down memory lane everyone! Wish I could recall
more....
mel jacobson on fri 21 jan 11
when i took over clayart, i called myself the `mayor` of a small town.
you know...a town where there are many nice folks that get along,
a few folks that cause trouble, and some very silly, sit on the fence
goofy folks that need jail time from time to time. we also have some
abusive folks, a few alcoholics and drug dealers. they tend to show
up like a bride dressed in black and pink with the back of her dress
tucked in her panyhose.
the mayor oversees this sort of a town...sometimes we need a sheriff.
sometimes we need the boys in the `white coats`.
but, most of the time, life goes on without much fuss.
it is sort of like going `downtown` to have coffee in the morning.
we say the same things, talk about the same things day after day...
but, that is the way it works. we like consistency. like small town
conversations, we like to know what is going on even if we have
heard it before.
on any given day we estimate that about 10,000 people may
read posts on clayart.
selected things to read.
we have about 2500 each day that get the posts, but many go
to colleges, art centers and get spread around. in fact, they spread
very widely.
yahoo mirrors clayart, and that spreads it even farther.
if you `google` most any subject in ceramics you will find a clayart post.
i went to the website of a famous gas burner company, and there
was the information i was trying to validate, with a post from me.
yes, they used my post about gas burners to explain what they make.
made me shake my head. i don't know if that was good or bad.
i guess it was totally correct. so, i validated myself. with myself.
also, clayart life is like a parade. we have floats, cars, people waving,
and some famous people of the day. but, the guts of clayart are the folks
sitting on the curb watching. a parade is not valid without the audience.
how we educate the audience is what makes clayart great. we may get
four or five answers, but the average is almost always correct.
and, when a stupid answer, that is totally wrong gets posted...we
find the correct answer fast...corrections are golden.
(remember, `where did you get your degree in engineering? you stupid
git.`) it does happen from time to time.
best to all that have hung in...for many years...

I bought my first modem in 1984. Used it on a Commodore 64, 64K at
300baud. ( My iPod is 33,554,432kb or 524,288 times larger! ) No HD, only
a very meger floppy drive that save a whole whopping 170K!
1Mb =3D3D 1,024kb 1 gb =3D3D 1,048,576kb
My iPod touch has me away from the desktop. I use it for
email, Facebook, the web and as a HDR camera about 95% of the time. I
listen to the radio or music on it only about 5% of the time.
I'll eventually get an iPad. All computers will go touch
screen, eventually.

I don't remember when I joined Clayart, but I do remember that being
able to get Clayart was one of the main reasons I first got Internet
access. After I'd been on Clayart for a month or so, I was telling my
wife how much I liked it. She said, "Of course you love it- it's
NCECA every day!". I've never heard a better description and it
continues to be one of the things I love about it. It's been a huge
benefit to me and it's hard to remember the clay community without
it. Thanks forever to Joe, Richard, Mel, Joyce and everyone else
who's made it what it is.

because my daughter and son-in-law were off to Indonesia for a few years, a=

my son-in-law put me on email, so I could keep in touch with them. I
discovered Clayart at about the same time, that was when Joe and Richard we=

always be grateful.
It seems like a lifetime, now, and it has been wonderful. People have come
and gone, but some have stayed. It is wonderful that they have.
I won't even try to name all the wonderful people I have "met" through this

Once again, Happy New Year to all, and I look forward to another year with

I was hired at TTU in 1994 and moved to Tennessee. I didn't know anyone,
and that didn't really matter since I was so involved in my job, but a
friend told me about Clayart and I joined late in fall semester of 1994 and
was immediately in the midst of a group of people who have remained dear to
me for the intervening 17 years.
If I were to name the major events that have changed my life very
significantly and positively it would be:
Seeing Doc Watson at the Berkeley Folk Festival in 1963.
Meeting my wife in 1968 (we've been married for 41 years).
Being driven from sculpture/foundry by a bad teacher in 1970 and deciding t=
o
focus on clay.
Setting up Railroad Stoneware in Blue Lake, CA in 1974.
Moving across the country for grad school in 1985.
Getting hired at TTU's Appalachian Center for Craft in 1994.
Joining Clayart in 1994.
I could not even begin to summarize all this discussion list has meant to
me, other than to say thank-you for all the ways it has enriched my life an=
d
taught me so much about clay, people, and life.

I know I have printouts of all of clayart in big binders somewhere from the
early '90s. There were about 500 people on the list. Jonathan Kaplan and
Richard Aerni were very encouraging to me when I first went on and it was
a real new world. We had a Vic 20, I think it was, and Fred had figured ou=
t
how to connect to world.com in Boston without phone fees.
I had no intention of ever touching a computer, that was my husband's baliw=
ick.
He was big on finding ways to get people interested in the internet. He fo=
und
clayart for me and started printing out the day's discussion and placing it
squarely on my dinner plate. It wasn't long before I was insisting on lear=
ning
how to do it myself.
I remember in grad school actually talking about how wonderful it would be
if potters everywhere could really be a community. That was 1980. If I ha=
d
only known it would be only a few more years!
How it has compressed the time it takes to learn. What a miracle. I am no=
t on
all that much these days but I always feel like I am really a part of
the clayart
community.
Best to all for an exciting new year, full of progress and
fascinating discoveries.

These departed Clayart friends, as well as all who are still with us on the
sunny side of the grass, have been an inspiration to me. Best regards for
2012 to all; may sunshine and happiness follow you all the days of your
lives.

When he really cared about the topic, it showed.
