FROM OUR MEMBERS
 
This last issue of the newsletter (February 2010) is just wonderful!  I am thrilled with all the energy and talent you have gathered in the last year to really get out there and be a presence!  Kathy, your letter is just great, hopeful, enthusiastic, and informative.  Gives the readers some hardcore information about real goals!  All really good clear ones!

I really like how you are showcasing the people who work so hard on the board!  Nick and Paula!  Great to see that appreciation spoken out loud right there in print!

Mary and Rosti, the Money Issue is, as always, fabulous.  Beautifully designed and edited.  Many congratulations to you two talented artists!  You're doing a great job.

All the best,
Linda Hillman
 
 
A deep bow of gratitude for keeping the lights on and the conversation rich and complex. Community has so many faces. I teach around 8 workshops a year and I never leave to teach them without a copy of Studio Potter and spend time explaining the mission and the value of the publication. I still feel confounded when I find so many folks haven't heard of the magazine. I'll continue to spread the word. Thanks for keeping the faith...it matters.
peace,
Kevin Crowe
