Finish and Begining
Lee Love
Writing my grant report as I sit here.
Was wonderful. I tested and formulated clays and glazes to
parallel what I used in Mashiko. Especially happy with my local
versions of ko-shigaraki clay and soda ash free shinos. But the
highlight was having a studio across from the community shared studio
and the primarily "young folks" who worked in the community studios
every day.
The experience convinced me I should stay and work in Minneapolis.
Greg Crow, a woodfirer from Australia is moving into the Residency
space after I leave.

I highly recommend the McKnight Residency at NCC. I might even
have a room you can rent cheaply while you are in residency at NCC (I
have another room available the end of August.) You can find
application info at the Northern Clay Center website.
I am moving into a regular studio space at NCC, that has
windows on Franklin Street. Sharing it with Andy, a Breshnehan
apprentice. My welcome to you to come have tea at my studio will
continue in the new space. Just give me a week to settle in.

> Hey Lee: Man your residency flew by. Is your studio space still at the NCC?
> Does Andy throw on a Korean kick wheel?
It sure did! Yes, I am jus moving to another space at NCC.
Yes, Andy has a nice korean wheel made by a caprpenter friend of
Richards. He is making a new base for it. He sold the current one
to Ben, who apprenticed at St. Johns and worked at Nakazato's in
Karatsu. Ben got a job at Souix Falls, at the University as a studio
technician. Those two guys and Steve keep the common area alive,
along with two young women. Gonna miss Steve and Ben when they leave.

It is good that you are moving to the same studio. You will enjoy Greg
Crowe. Met him at the kiln I woodfire in Washington State.
By the Way, one of the crew members at the Santatsugama posted some time
lapse pics of loading the kiln which we will unload on July 5. The time
lapse shots are on her blog at:

Rick, Ben worked with the son (I am crummy remembering names.) He
was asked to teach him English and being able to work once a week at
the workshop was a fringe benefit. Ben was teaching in the JET
program. Left after a year when he was accepted to an apprenticeship
at St. John's.
Will look at link in the morning! Trhanks!
