PHOTO: Regular contributor, Vanessa, of Nessy's Pottery (Horton, KS), has uploaded some very interesting photos to her folder, nessyspottery. On the right is an example. Be sure to check out the rest of her work in our Photos section.

We love to show members' photos and examples of your work on the Clayextruding homepage. Post them in the Photos section then I will move them here.

Ah, Spring! Many of us are well into our work and getting ready for the craft fairs. Don't let the economy get you down. Buying a piece of pottery will brighten your outlook. I don't have to remind you how important it is to support your local artists. If they have Etsy pages, at least check them out. You just might find something you love and must have. Thanks to all of you for your contributions to the board. If you have been a member for awhile but haven't posted, why not let us know how you're doing and what you're working on these days.
