I have to agree with Carla.

I do certainly like Howard Axner. He seems like a wonderful guy. Showed me
around as though I were somebody important when I was there. However, it costs
me quite a lot just to ship clay from Sioux Falls, SD. What will it cost from
Geneva, FL? My clay manufacturer makes absolutely no attempt so far as I can
tell to meet the type of standards Axner goes by. (Honestly, guys, they are
incredible.) Even so, I'm not going to buy clay from central Florida. You
sometimes have to go with what's available. I would like to be able to use the
Clayart clay (assuming there's a ^6 brown body in there somewhere). Heck, I
would like to have that recipe myself. Maybe I'll buy a clay mixer. But
that does sound like a lot of very dusty work--we'll see.

I understand that Highwater Clays of Asheville, NC is
setting up a branch in Florida. Perhaps Howard will
consider setting up a branch in the Midwest?????
