A few years ago, Meredith Heywood (of Whynot Pottery in North Carolina) and I worked with editor Mary Barringer on a story about blogging and potters, and about the subsequent Southern Pines, N.C., show that brought the work of many of the bloggers together in one building. That was the start of wider horizons for me and for my clay work.
Then, a few months ago, I met Elizabeth Cohen of Wellesley, Mass., at the State of Clay exhibit in Lexington. Elizabeth is on the Studio Potter board and suggested that as a potter and former journalist I might be of some use to the magazine. I agreed, and after interviews and applications and a vote, that's where I am. I'm eager to see what happens.

Wonderful your artwork!!
That's great Hollis! They will surely benefit by having you on board. (I need to renew!)
Hey now that is exciting. Well done you. Bet you'll enjoy that one.
Congratulation! You will be a great fit for the publication. I let my subscription lapse a couple of years ago, it just got too expensive. I still pour through the collection I have that goes back to it's inception.
I especially love the articles Gerry Williams wrote about his travels around the country, visiting potters.
... wouldn't it be great if you could travel and write about todays studio potters!
Good for you, Good for them. Good for us.
Thanks, everyone. Now renew your subscriptions.
So great!
Congratulations Hollis! I hope it works out well for you.
I look forward to reading.
Best,
