If you visit Teresa Chang's website, you will be amazed at the number of
magazines she has been featured in, including Oprah Winfrey's. That isn't
due to luck or accident. I'm sure she has persisted for years.

To start out, I suggest that potters send news releases to local newspapers.
They are surprisingly easy to get into. Example: My sister, Emma, is a
textile designer in Hawaii. She was going to teach a seminar at an art
store, and I suggested that she contact the newspapers for a story. Both
newspapers featured her, complete with color pictures. The newspapers even
sent out photographers.
