Thought we'd let people know about this one last time. There is still space
available. We're not affiliated with this, but we know that Jorge Quintana
will give you your money's worth.

The Museum of Latin American Art (Long Beach, California) is trying to
advertise a Mata Ortiz Pottery workshop. We are a non-profit
organization and will only be able to hold the workshop if we count with
enough participants. Any advice as to where to get a hold of enough
enthusiasts?
Thanks a million for any help you may be able to provide us with.
