Hi All,

If anyone is curious about the Gladding, McBean pottery in Lincoln, CA.
I have a slideshow form this past spring's Feats of Clay tour on my
website. Gladding, McBean is one of the only producers of architectural
terra cotta still working in this country. It's really an interesting
factory tour, even if you weren't "into clay". Since it's a working
factory, they only have tours during the annual Feats of Clay national
exhibition in the spring and you have to make a reservation to get on a
tour. If you're ever in or near Lincoln, CA. during that time of year
it's a must see. The tours are sponsored by Lincoln Arts, who put on
Feats of Clay and other community groups. For more information go to
their website at www.lincolnarts.org.

Meanwhile if you want to see a slideshow of the tour go to:

and click on the Gladding McBean Tour link. I wish I had gotten some
better photos of the Feats winners, but i forgot to charge up my
batteries before the trip!
