Sounds like you need a guinea pig: my new 1999 work is tiles with chinese
brush painting decoration. I have a page postng about 30 ish pictures of
them. Anyone who is interested in critiquing them here is public is welcome.
I have a thick skin and can take it as well as I dish it out to my students.
The trouble where I live is that there are only a few potters here, so it is
hard to do a critique by peers. I will not describe them, as I would like to
get your unaffected reaction. If you would rather send a post to me by
email, I can get back to you either here or personally.

This is one thing that I need most, because I am happy with them, so happy
that I need someone dispassionate to point out the flaws. My friends who are
not potters are very supportive, but that is a reflection of their feelings
for me, not my work.


I wil compile the results into one folder and include it on the page with the
pictures on my home page.

Thanks for your help!
