You will probably have to add a few to your orange dot count Mel.
Martha Ann and I arrived late Wed evening and got to the Clayart room
in time for a quick hello, but didn't get the dot because we did not have
our
registration name tags yet.
We never caught site of you again after that and had to go the whole time
dotless!!
Never-the-less no one in the CLayart room treated us like orphans or
wannabes.
So your count may be nearer to 300 than you think.

I wonder how many pieces were exchanged Friday night, it was probably
one of the most exciting exchanges I've attended. Even before John H
drew my tile, which really gave me a thrill. And then we had John Baymore
take our photo together. Doesn't get any better than that.

Except maybe getting to discuss the durability of Raku luster glazes with
Tom Buck. And in the middle
of showing him the pictures of the Raku kiln I was building have none other
than
Stephen "Raku" Branfman walk up and join the conversation!!!!

Thanks guys for your supporting comments, I've fired the "Rolling Rocket"
twice
since returning home and she's a honey. Glides to temp like a thoroughbred,
I hope to post pictures and firing notes soon. (she is actually and old
AIM cone 10 gas I
converted with a fiber top)
