It's good to hear that you got so much exposure, and that the conference was good for you. I hope that we can talk again in the future.

I'll be looking for this to happen. =) I’m curious as to what would happen if Jeff used his dissection/assembly process in the way that you use your line work, as in instead of cutting things equally in his normal sort of patterned way, could he cut and assemble along the lines that you normally use as surface treatment?

The download page is my attempt to solve that frequent, pesky problem that only seems to come up under print deadlines. I'm so happy that its working! I hope that by providing that resource I am easier to work with, and therefor more likely to be published. Which is definitely a win for me. Thanks again. Thank you so much Karen.

I love this collaboration with Jeff. Also- where am I supposed to put a general comment about how GREAT and HELPFUL and EASY it is when artists have downloadable high rez images available!?!?!? I don't have to bother you for them, and they are there when I need them by yesterday. Karen SWEET!! I love this collaboration with Jeff.

Actually, it seems like colorful electric fire porcelain and majolica currently dominate. And for the grants, mostly sculptural work was in the McKnight show (everybody except Linda Christianson .) When I was one of the "Artists Of The Month", I was sandwiched between Posey Bacopoulos and Victoria Christen. Majolica sandwiches on each side of my Stoneware.

Almost a tint of blue. But the glazes were not really affected. joe I have been firing my porcelain slipcast to cone 6 and when fired in a gas kiln in oxidation the clay body tends to be cooler as well.
