Thanks Erik for featuring my piece in your March newsletter in the header. What a surprise! We have been in the middle of a huge transition in our lives and have not been following lately. A friend and fellow potter commented so I came to see and update my profile.
I got the email with the enticing pictures from the latest newsletter and logged into the site, but when I clicked on the link to the newsletter, I got a message saying I didn't have access. Please help. Thanks.
Hey Erik-
My work is in cycles. Mostly porcelain. Then I do a full studio clean and equipment clean for a couple months of earthenware. Then again for stoneware totems and pots. The totems brew in my head for awhile. I sketch them down on paper until I get a chance to make them. A commission throws all plans out the window!

Thanks Eric for the welcome! I cant wait to see what I can learn from this site!

Just got today's newsletter and I am intrigued by the glazes on the vase, disapointed to find no credit to the potter nor any other info.
Hi Eric,
How do I get from your e-mail to the newsletter?
I clicked on that gorgeous "pot" pix because it said "Cone6Pots Newsletter March 2017"; but it was only a pix, not a link!
Thanks, Louise
Enjoyed the news letter, a lot of new information. Denice
Newsletter looks great and should keep members engaged with this terrific network.

Thanks Erik. Lots of hard work and good information shared by the people across the internet really helps!

Erik, I see you are no longer listed on the MIY website. I'm guessing you made a move. So where are you and what are you doing these days?

Purchase Glazes Cone 6 by Michael Bailey, The Potters Book of Glaze Recipes by Emmanuel Cooper, or Making Marks by Robin Hopper, all available at amazon.com. Mastering Cone 6 Glazes by John Hesselberth & Ron Roy is now out of print.
Harbor Freight is a great place to find unbeatable prices for better HVLP spray guns with stainless steel parts and serviceable economy models, as well as detail guns, all tested by our members for spraying glazes, as well as compressors to power the guns. As yet no one has tested and commented on the remarkably inexpensive air brushes at harbor freight.
