This resource page is currently under construction. I suggest that you look under the following web pages, they have excellent links: www.ayumihorie.com, www.kariradasch.com and www.artaxis.org. I hope to have a "links" resource page of resources up by the summer.

A few years ago I made a resource booklet for my students: "The Field Guide for Ceramic Artisans". The field guide is an extremely casual booklet, made on the copy machine and collated on the floor of my office. It addresses the normal “everyman” post graduation questions from my students, see table of contents below. It cost $25 with all proceeds going to the scholarship fund for ceramics at RIT.

If you are interested in getting a copy of the Field Guide (see article in studio potter under biography of this web page) please email me at jmgsac@rit.edu. They should be ready to mail out by the end of March. The current table of contents for the Field Guide is:
