How do I get from the Forum to the other sites like my online subscriptions to Ceramics monthly? Is there a link somewhere?

Hi Marcia,
We are looking into adding the link to the Ceramic Arts Network homepage to the navigation bar at the top. From there you can access Ceramics Monthly, Pottery Making Illus., ICAN etc. Hope to have it up there in the next day or so. For now, here is the link: https://ceramicartsnetwork.org/
Thanks,
Jen

worked on my raku kiln this afternoon. Raised the floor level for several reasons: snow, being able to disconnect the pulleys at a decent height so I can wrap it up for bad weather, and hopefully raising it will make the heat less intense on the top of my head.using my old lid for the base. Saved me using a lot of soft brick.

Today the replacement lid with a counter weight came. Tomorrow my helpers come to lift the kiln and with out stands. And today I laid the foundation for my large raku kiln with a pulley system. Soon I'll be making big pots again. Very happy we have warm weather this week.I need to build the raku kiln in place so the pulleys and attachments to the chamber line up. Friday we had this. 6.5" of heavy wet snow. Many tree branches snapped. Today it was perfect for working outside.

Got back Thursday night from my La Meridiana workshop in Italy and visits to Florence and Certaldo Alto before the class and Faenza, Ravenna and Venice after the class. I sprained my ankle first day of the workshop, but it didn't interfere with my teaching, thankfully.
I wil try to get my photos downsized so I can post a few.

I am back but having a slow time reconfiguring how the new format works and where things are located. My class went very well. Had people from Italy, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Canada, Scotland, and US.
We were joined by 2 brasilians for our short post workshop trip to Faenza and the International Museum of Ceramic Art , studio visits and Ravenna mosaics.
I also went for a fast visit to Venice to see the Biennale. Quite a few ceramics pieces there.
-
Welcome back friend. Looking forward to new pictures. Then again, with the new forum it might take me a few days to find them.
-
What were they thinking?

Threw my newly re-hydrated porcelain yesterday. Worked on making small pieces for lots of experimenting.. Worked with a welder to build the frame for my large raku kiln. I need that for larger pieces with even firings. But, today we drive over to Big Sky through Yellowstone.
