Clayart,

I wanted to remind you all of the three summer workshops Vince Pitelka will
be giving in Washington State and British Columbia. Short listings of these
three appear at the end of this message. For those interested in more
information about the workshops or Vince, take a look at my brand new
website at http://www2.memes.com/mmpots. This address takes you to my
homepage. From there just click on the link for Vince Pitelka's Summer
Workshops. There are complete course descriptions, a statement and bio from
Vince, pictures of Vince's work and last year's workshop at my home studio
all available from there.

Many thanks to fellow clayarter Kayo Parsons-Korn who designed the site. If
anyone chooses to look around at the parts pertaining to me and my work,
please be advised that the site is still under construction, and some
information is lacking. We just wanted to be sure and get the parts about
the workshops available at the earliest possible moment.

Sorry to bother you all again so soon, but Vince pointed out an error in my
posting of a couple of days ago. Seems I forgot to specify that the $275 fee
for the Colored Clay workshop in Vancouver B.C. is expressed in US funds.
I'm not quite sure what it would be in Canadian dollars, but that's an issue
to take up with Olga Campbell who is co-ordinating that workshop. I'm just
appending the original post with that one correction below.
