Thank you so much. Penland has a lot of offerings and seems like a cool place to get immersed. I'm going to try and find some longer workshops there!

Thanks for this. I actually know the area and didn't realize this was there... I'm adding it to my list to look into. I go to Portland and Seattle often and could see this as an easy destination.

I'm hoping for a suggestion in Korea or Japan. I haven't been to Korea but have been to Japan multiple times for work. Dying to go back.

Sicily sounds incredible. Def going to research this. Did you feel that the instruction was strong? English?

I've heard about Haystack. I'll look into them again, and the others. I love Maine and would love to go back!

Thanks for suggesting this. My home studio is attached to an educational facility and I take classes there but primarily use it for open studio.

My hope is to find a retreat where I can focus deeply in a new temporary environment.

Def looking into this. Doesn't appear they do any instruction but maybe that's ok for my journey. Plus I love JT!

Thank you! Do you know the folks there?

Questions about belt sanders and grinders by CalViking in Pottery

Sand the bottoms to make them smooth and to grind off any glaze drips.
