Potters & Sculptors - Making Rock from Mud
Vika on Rebel Mouse Sign up for news...upper right side of page: "Alerts" best way to keep track of new/s!
I'm also on Ravelry and PearlTrees...let me know and I'll drop links. I do have a FaceBook biz page but it generates very little traffic (FB throttled all but paying users!), so I only post there occasionally.
I have a Cone6 board on Pinterest and also do a couple ceramic Treasuries on Etsy every year (you can visit/see the amount of traffic they've gotten).

Masterful glazing.
