My house/studio was burned to the ground in the Valley Fire that started very close to my home. Our street was the first to go and my area is totally destroyed. 75% of the homes in my little town are gone. I had over 300 pots ready for fairs and of course, all the pottery we use daily. I’m devastated. I’m hoping I’ll be able to recover some pots that didn’t break/melt, and maybe my kilns? Wheel? The evacuation order hasn’t been lifted yet.

I've been largely offline due to two surgeries and recovery time I think the whole world should know that it took me the equivalent of over 3 days to cull through -- judiciously picking and choosing only some things to check on -- CAD forums, Facebook, and LinkedIn! I empathize w/Evelyn..my studio is essentially shut down for now-just can't do it yet.

I give inline skating lessons in public areas like Central Park, NYC and people on skates come over to me and ask if they can join my group or my private lesson. After explaining that all people have paid and you may also many say nevermind but is it ok if I watch? It's a public place so I can't stop them. After awhile some will inch their way into the group or will ask me questions from behind me if they are doing it right. I just gotta laugh and I hand them my card and tell them...
