Community studio in Missoula ...check it out if you haven't yet.
http://www.theclaystudioofmissoula.org/pages/schedule.html
This is one page of the clay studio...where my son is listed as one of the teachers.
I liked hearing about another community studio, similar to the one in which I am active. Not to mention me being proud of my son, Tai Rogers, becoming a Resident in the community studio in Missoula, Montana.
Our BMCA clay studio here in Black Mountain doesn't have "residents" or studio assistants. Just a couple of us who volunteer to monitor the studio during several of the Open Studio times. The time our students can work outside of their class time is just 19 hours a week. Missoula's community studio is open 24/7 for it's students.
But it's pretty clear that the Missoula studio is much bigger than ours...though I am happy to to learn some of the ideas that are on their site.
The other site I'm going to give you a link to is Charles Freeland's, who is our new studio manager. This is his product page, but there's more information on his home page.

I'm enjoying getting to know Charles gradually, as he fixes things and makes the studio more comfy for use. He also spends a lot of time with his students during open studios. It's like having a private tutor, and they are loving it!
Today I was busy in the studio, and have a pitcher to finish tomorrow. I've started impressions for 8 Triple Spiral Labyrinths. I've also got 3 impressions of the Labyrinth from the Chartres Cathedral. I put handles on 4 mugs, and trimmed 4 cereal bowls. So whenever they are bone dry, they'll go into the kiln room.
The Labyrinths are pressed into clay from a mold I made. The Triple Spirals are for a class that starts this Sun, and they obviously won't be ready in time...but I'm wanting each student to be able to paint their own glaze on theirs. So when they are bisqued, then they will have that opportunity.
I'm happy that tomorrow there will be a couple of hours to be in the studio...since I've volunteered to "monitor" the time. That way I'll be able to continue working on the things I couldn't finish tonight.

Clay Club at BMCA Clay Studio
Here's the banner from Clay Club's blog. --------------------------
Clay Club
Clay Club aims to connect potters and ceramic artists of our community. We exchange ideas, share information and form friendships
-----------------------------------
If you haven't been to that site, try it sometime. Lots of Western North Carolina pottery news. http://ncclayclub.blogspot.com/
I've sent John Britt the invitation to go out to members (???) of Clay Club for this month's meeting next week at BMCA (Black Mountain Center for the Arts, Clay Studio)
*****************************************
Clay Club at Clay Studio of BMCA

Clay Club at Clay Studio of BMCA
All potters, clay addicts, and others (artists, students, good cooks etc) are welcome to the Pot Luck meet of the Clay Club, Wed, May 11 at the Clay Studio of The Black Mountain Center for the Arts.
Meet at 6:30 for food & demos by Annie Singletary, John Britt, and ??? (if you've got a technique to share, plese speak up).
Where is it?
The Clay Studio is located downhill and behind the Black Mountain Center for the Arts, in a small separate building.
Off I-40, go north from exit 64 towards downtown Black Mountain. At State Street (3rd traffic light) take a left. Within 2 blocks, the Center for the Arts will be on your left, (just after the Dripolator Coffee Shop and just before the Thai Basil Restaurant.) To park behind the Center for the Arts, take the next left at that traffic light (steep hill down) and the left at the first driveway into a parking area. If it is full, there's another parking area below it, as you continue down the hill.
More information available from Black Mountain Center for the Arts at (828) 669-0930, or Barbara Rogers, here.
**********************************************
Needless to say, lots of BMCA clay students will be there as well, looking for something fun to do with pots or maybe providing something delicious. The aim of making friendships is definitely one our Clay Studio fosters. I'm really psyched up about this meeting!
