ArtView Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Please consider helping us with the Potters Council Mentoring Program... We have a handful of Mentees requesting help with business questions and set-up, marketing plans, and general business advice. It will not take much of your time. Do you mind sharing a few tips, answering a few of their questions, helping a new potter/ceramic artist know the next steps to be an artist full-time and make a living in the art world? It is not an easy endeavor. Your advice will carry art forward and help an artist make it in a world that is not as art-friendly at times. You can set the terms of your contact - if you prefer emails, if you like to talk by phone every other Saturday before noon, etc. You can say how long you can help - a month, three months, six months, etc. We just need a moment of your time to help our fellow artists. Please take a look at the program. Please volunteer to help a Mentee. We will proudly recognize you as a Potters Council Mentor and you will be eligible for our awards and more.

Mark C. Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have been on the fence about this and this pushed me over-I'll sign up when I return in a day-I have some time now with a recovering hand. Thanks for the push. Mark Application sent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinah Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 Mentoring is a very rewarding activity. My Mentee has set up a Google Docs site where she's popped in the discussion topics which we initiated during our first phone chat -- it's a spreadsheet format-- and very easily worked on; included me as a participant. I receive auto updates when she's acted on some aspect of our discussion and entered in a comment or so. There's an auto highlight feature which makes it convenient to land on topic she's addressed so I can chip in as well. Progress and pleasing progress at that. Genius. This gal lives in Colorado, I'm in Seattle area. Chris Larson Renquist who returned to potting a couple of years ago has taught me a new trick or two. I only wish we could pair up more folks with Mentors. Please consider helping out. Good job, Mark! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
