A few weeks ago there were two threads that I would like to respond to in
one message. They dealt with (1) what happened to that pinch potter Mike
Imes and (2) who would be somebody to get for a workshop. I just talked to
Mike, and he has agreed to have his address and phone number posted as
someone to contact about doing pinch pottery workshops. (A personal
observation--Mike is an extraordinary pinch potter and a fine person. He
currently teaches in a Waldorf school, is raising 3 kids, and makes some
fine pinch pots). He can be contacted as follows:

Mike Imes
W3468 County Road J
East Troy, WI 53120

Later...Dave

I'd like to see this thread continued and if Mike does any workshops, I hope
they're posted here. I'm am absolutly terrible pinch potter and would like
to learn from a master.

While not a workshop, there is a fabulous book on pinch pots, called "Finding
One's Way With Clay" by Paulus Berenson. I highly recommend it.

I used the copy that belonged to the potter's guild in Ithaca, New York, but
never owned a copy. I would love to own one. Does anyone have a spare copy
to sell? Please e-mail me privately if you do.

Thanks.
