bciskepottery Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Maybe waiting for the Supremes to have a reunion tour and weigh in on the vote count? Regardless, everything in ceramics is controlled by "Big Clay". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benzine Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Maybe waiting for the Supremes to have a reunion tour and weigh in on the vote count? Regardless, everything in ceramics is controlled by "Big Clay". And don't expect "Big Clay" to help out anyone. They still haven't responded to the evidence that clay is addictive, and a gateway art, to other media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bciskepottery Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Maybe waiting for the Supremes to have a reunion tour and weigh in on the vote count? Regardless, everything in ceramics is controlled by "Big Clay". And don't expect "Big Clay" to help out anyone. They still haven't responded to the evidence that clay is addictive, and a gateway art, to other media. For eons, Big Clay has suppressed medical proof of the addictions associated with working with clay and being a potter. They have employed vast new technologies, like internet forums and workshops, to keep the addicted focused on the latest techniques and pretty pretty frills and glossy surfaces. But, one day, the Truth shall be known and then Big Clay will pay for its transgressions. Until then, we just have to suck it up and pay homage to Big Clay. But our day is coming. Potters of the World -- Unite and throw off the chains of repression foisted on us by Big Clay. And, if JohnB wants to post the election results (not mentioning he promised to do this as soon as they were announced at NCECA), feel free to join in the fray.

Steven Branfman Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hi Mark and All, The election results are always "officially" announced in the upcoming Potters Pages. We did make the announcement at our PC Members Reception at NCECA and the PC Advisory Board web page has been updated so the cat is out of the bag! Marcia Selsor, past board member and past president has been elected to fill our one open board spot. Due to Eduardo Lazo's medical situation, the chair, chair elect, and past chair positions were frozen for the upcoming yeaer. Those positions will rotate next year with an election held for chair elect. This decision was announced to the membership earlier in the year.

Guest JBaymore Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 And, if JohnB wants to post the election results (not mentioning he promised to do this as soon as they were announced at NCECA), feel free to join in the fray. Sorry..... I was told to wait until Potters Pages came out before posting here. After the question about it here, OK was given to post them. best, ................john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcia Selsor Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Mark, I like the free 2 tons of clay and the Tesla. As the newest member to the Board, I look forward to working with the current members on ways to expand the benefits. Maybe you can help with a free trip to the islands? Thanks for the support. Are the Supremes having a reunion????????????? Maybe concert tickets? Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcia Selsor Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 self -centering clay was already developed back in the 60s. M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilly Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 I don't need self-centering clay, but self-raising clay would be great. I know where to buy self-raising flour, but I'm stumped on the clay....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diane Puckett Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 Good idea! Years ago, Popular Mechanics showed a prototype design for a bathroom that could be shut up and run like a dishwasher. I would pay a lot of money for one of those. I wonder if a self-cleaning pottery studio would help or hinder my creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
