This just in. 2010 Clay Workshops at Mudfire Clayworks offering an impressive line up of top presenters. I myself would love to go to the Debra Fritts workshop. I love her work! Charlie and Linda Riggs workshops also come highly recommended. I understand from a friend who attended they are high energy and packed with information. If you make it to one of these workshops, tell Luba that Vicki said hello!
