Dear Clayarters. I will post our ten best. There are some not worth
dealing with IMHO.
But tonight is senior banquet and tomorrow is commencement where I will
be awarded Professor Emerita. THEN I have two weeks to finish wome work
due in Tenn. and pull off our big May Clay Day Fest. I need to ask
Richard how to post hyper glaze info.
Please be patient. I will post to clayart.
-just frantic but retiring!
Marcia
