Beginners help

Where can a newbie go for "Dummies" type help with this hobby ? I do
not even know the meaning of Raku, bisque and etc.

Hi Bob :-)

You can also go to www.youtube.com - there is a group called Ceramics which
you can join. Whenever a video about ceramics is posted to that group, you
will see it in your subscriptions (you have to have a _free_ member account
to subscribe to groups and users).

I might be beating my own drum here, but I have put out quite a few videos
now showing different things about my ceramics and trying to explain how and
why I do things. I am hoping to make some videos for total newbies who don't
have a lot of equipment as well. I want to show people how fun clay can be!
Also my "minor frustrations" video has a bit about how fragile dry clay can
be - push pause, watch the beginning - (the middle if you feel like it) -
and the ending, which is a slow-motion of the beginning and I find it kinda
cool.

You will find my videos at http://www.youtube.com/marihani

Please do subscribe! You as a "newbie" are exactly the audience I am wanting
to reach! As ANYTHING you want in the comments to the videos and I will
reply as well as I can!

Have fun! That's what its all about :-)
