I just got back from 3 days/2 nights of free studio time from the Mendocino Art Center (CA). I've sold in their gallery and taken many workshops there and they heard about the loss of my house/studio, so they offered me this wonderful gift. It was the first time since the fire that I've worked with clay and it felt fabulous!! Someone was firing a ^6 kiln and was able to fit a few of my shards in, and they refired beautifully, so I'll refire a lot of my other shards so I...

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughts. I still can't believe I lost so much. Of the pots in this picture, all but the jar were destroyed in the fire. The jar is left because it was in a gallery. I took all my work out of the galleries I was in so I have a couple dozen pieces that I'll keep for my personal use. -
The Valley Fire wiped me out. Been to our property and our whole neighborhood is destroyed. I lost all: three wheels, three kilns, 400-500 pots, etc... I can replace my equipment and materials but my pots... that's where my big loss is because I can only claim cost of materials. All my hours of work and potential earnings are lost. I have a lot of questions which I'll be addressing in specific sections of the forum. I'm applying for a CERF grant and have set up an account for dona...

Pottery books!I had a large collection and my favorites I listed in the forum I wrote about 'thermal shock...', but any resource or idea books would be appreciated.

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. With the shards I’ll make a big mosaic wall when we...

Will be thinking of you. I hope your insurance will cover things but know that even so your life has just become extremely difficult, probably for a long time. Be strong. Keep us posted and let us know if we can help.

I am so sorry you are having to go through this. I'll be thinking of you.

Your colors and the art are just incredible!! I love the blackline~ it really gives definition to the wonderful painting. You've created a PRIZE!! -
I am now an official member of Potters' Council and I put up my artist portfolio. Next Saturday is the opening of a show I'm in (with 7 other potter/sculptors) at a gallery on the Mendocino Coast. And I just added listings to my etsy page. I'm finally feeling like an integrated part of the greater pottery world instead of going it by my lonesome.

This is a really lovely bowl. Classic shape and a wonderfully subtle glaze. How large is it? -

I know I'm new to CAD forum, but I'm not new to pottery. How do I get out of the "newbie " designation on the forum? Is it number of posts or...?

You can change the designation after you've made 30 posts.
-
It has to do with your activity on this site rather than your actual stage of expertise. I am a clay beginner but I'm super outgoing so my designation showed as advanced after like 2 weeks.

Thank you, Grype. I love doing the carving!! -
