Austin Ceramic Studio Tour

...is now history... a successful history!
Thanks to everyone who attended and made it a success!!!

We all had a great time but both the prep and the tour were hard work so Monday felt like a holiday even though this week has it's share of residual labors and meetings to sort out what we did right and how we can improve and be even better prepared for next year... Thanks again Everyone!!!

One surprising (to us) comment that we heard many times during the 2004 Art of the Pot Tour was;

"It's great to finally have access to top level ceramic art in Central Texas..."
The good news is it's been here for many years,  the bad news is so few people in our huge metropolitan region have been able to uncover the great clay talents that are a permanent part of the Austin art world.
We all hope the success of this annual tour keeps these talents visible and continues to showcase the many others who have been working with clay for decades.
