I will be in the Newport Beach area May 2 - 6 and would be interested in
any pottery shows or galleries in the area. I'll have a car available
so I will be able to travel some distance. My main focus is Raku but I
would be interested in seeing any clay work.

Thanks in advance,
Gary Ferguson

Gary,
I was planning to send this to clayart when I saw your message!
You are in luck...
There is a great ceramics exhibit at the
Laguna Art Museum until June 21. The phone number there is
714 494 8971. In fact, it is worth the drive from anywhere
in southern California. Ignore the L.A. Times review...
whatever you think of the sculptural pieces (and I'm not
qualified to comment on those), the many wonderful functional
pieces and vessels make this exhibition a worthwhile trip for those
of you on clayart who live in San Diego or L.A. The museum
is on PCH just north of main beach...it's about a 15 minute
drive from Newport.

P.S. When I say you are in luck, Gary, I mean it. This ranks
(almost) with David Hendley's search for cheap firebricks.
Orange County is not exactly noted for its pottery viewing
opportunities!

Drive down the coast a few miles to Laguna Beach--lots of art shops, food,
and beauty. I used to live there and miss it greatly. Enjoy yourself.
(Also lived in Newport, but don't miss it much--apologies to former
neighbors, who I do miss). Later in the summer, Laguna will have about 6
weeks of art festivals, which is a great place to see lots of art and crafts.
