Hi, Amy – It’s 3/2/10 and I’m not sure I am onto your new Website. But, if we are in touch, Marjorie and I would like two spots in the Cynthia Bringle Workshop if two spots are still available. We’ll send you the two checks for $100 if the spaces are available. Thanks! Fred for Marjorie and me.
Hi Amy:
Just returned from Bay Area. Too much overwhelming stuff at home to come today. Just need to pick up clay and shut down for the summer. I will try to see you tomorrow.

Hello, I am experienced in ceramics and I’m interested in a membership. Because of my job, I live in the mountains two weeks out of the month. Yes, live! Is it possible for the fees to be negotiable for the membership, being that I could only use the studio two weeks out of the month?
Hi Amy,
Just interested in a piece of pottery which i didnt know i had. It is a small (8″) shallow bowl with Pottery West fired into the bottom. I am not sure where it came from but wondered if i took a picture could you tell me if it is from your studios? I am not sure how it got here, up in Canada but it would be fun to know its origins. Thanks, William
Hi William, Yes, I’m interested to see the piece of pottery. You can send a jpeg image to potterywest@cox.net Thank you for writing me to let me know. best, Amy
Amy–Please include me in The P. Horsley workshop!
Amy;
A friend of mine named Lenny is going to Las Vegas soon and I suggested to him that he look you up. He is owner of Ceramic Servies in Ontario CA. (near Pomona) He and his partner Kenny have been making Kilns of quality for many years and have contacts that go in many directions. I told him how well your pottery is going and suggested that he look at it, as he is beginning to offer studio and kiln space for those of us down here. I know you will treat him well and I just wanted to introduce him to you. Hope you are happy and well.

hi amy,
i would like to stay at your facility and have instruction for a week
I have been involved in clay for about 5 yrs
have been to numerous workshops, even tom’s, but i feel like something is amiss
do you have a program or plan that would facilitate my needs?
i will work to offset costs, but do not expect anything free
please contact me @ ivanvonveac7@hotmail.com
thanks Stephen
Hi Stephan,
We charge $250 to stay on-site for the week and have unlimited use of the pottery studio. We have 5 classes that meet each week and 5 instructors. Let me know what dates you would like to come out and if you have anything specific in your clay work you would like to focus on improving. You can contact me directly at amy@potterywest.com
best,
Amy Kline

Thank you,

Hello,
I have never been to your facility and would love to visit. Could you let me know how the registration for the workshops is handled especially if I would have to cancel since I live out of state.
Thank you and best regards
Kristina
Hi Kristina,
A 50% deposit holds your place in a workshop. You can cancel and receive a full refund 30 days prior to the date of the workshop. This gives us time to (hopefully) fill the space. Since our workshop fees are based very closely to what we pay the guest artist it is difficult to issue any refunds any closer to the workshop date.
Hi Amy. I am sending my second check for the August Tom Coleman workshop. I am interested in the on-site semi-private lodging. You mention it is $50 a night, but else where on this site I see that it is $250 a week. Would that price apply to this week long workshop?
Thanks,
Rene
Hi Rene, The price for on-site lodging is higher when we have a workshop on-site. There is one space available. Let me know if you are interested in reserving it.
Hi Amy,
So happy to have met you on my birthday. Your studio is amazing and I LOVE the piece I purchased. Please get in contact with me when you come to California. I’ll take you on a studio tour.
Sharon
I like what you guys are up too. Such intelligent work and reporting! Keep up the superb works guys I have incorporated you guys to my blogroll. I think it’ll improve the value of my site
Hi Amy,
Do you know if anyone coming to the Soda Workshop will be flying in early Monday morning or Sunday night? I am considering flying instead of driving. Perhaps we could share the cab ride.
Thanks,
Rene
Or maybe you know someone coming from California and we could share the drive?

Hi Amy:
Please sign me up for the Broadnax and Ellis Workshop. Seeing as how we will be spending a week of our vacation in Las Vegas, I was wondering if you are going to have any other events like a soda or wood firing. It will be good to see the studio again. Do you have room on the property to let me park an RV? Hope to hear from you soon.
Cactus
Please put me on a mailing list or email me workshops. I’m a potter in Boulder Colorado. Thanks
Hello, I am Maiko. I would like to join the 7 weeks class starting on Aug 6th with my friend. Do I need to make an appointment?
Thanks.
MAIKO
Hi Maiko, Our classes will start up again on August 15th. You are both welcome to come in and start then.
Wow what a great studio! If you are ever looking for some one from out side of your area to come out and do a workshop I would love to do it! I know tom and elaine from way back in my Kansas City days. I primarily soda fire to cone 6. I’m going to try and attach some images/link to a show i’m having with Jason Bohnert from Flagstaff. Would be fantastic to do a workshop with him, team teach! Any way love your studio and please keep me in mind! https://www.crimsonlaurelgallery.com/shop/exhibits/south-by-southwest/
Hi Dennis, My kiln is so large it takes 3 days just to cool. The turn-around is too close to load, fire and cool. It’s a 5 day cycle at best. Hope you’re able to get them fired.
Hey Amy:
We are finally getting settled here in Sparks. It is such a beautiful place but I really miss you guys like crazy and will plan a trip yearly to visit and use the studio. I have a question: I ordered a wheel and am trying to decide on an electric kiln. I think I have narrowed my kiln choice to a Skutt or the L&L. Would you suggest a small or medium kiln for me and do you have a preference for the Skutt or L&L kiln?
Thanks a bunch.
Miss you
Barbara
Barbara
Hi Barbra, we miss you, too!!!
Both kilns are a great kiln. I prefer L&L. But, Skutt is excellent, too.
It just depends on how much work you plan to make. You might get a smaller one? You can get the work through a little quicker and always fire it 2 times if you need to. Our kiln is too big which is why it takes so long to fire it. Something to consider.
Please give our best to Jerry and give each other hugs from all of us!
Amy
Thanks Amy. Tell everyone hello. Will probably try to come next Feb for hopefully a week.
Barbara
Hello, I have been reading of your studio for years and would like to come participate. My sister, a friend and myself will be in Vegas from the 3rd of Nov. through the weekend. We each have had some classes and experience with slabs and throwing. If you are not open on Fridays, can we make arrangements to come and work in your studio on Saturday the 5th of Nov.? Please let me know if you will be having any classes or if someone will be there. Let me know the cost, we are so excited to visit. thank you, Doreen Plott Waco, TX.
A friend and I are interested in the Randy Brodnax /Don Ellis workshop if in fact it is in May 2012. Could you please verify that it is in fact in May of 2012 and also provide us with information regarding housing or places to stay. Thank you so much.
