Like many of you I’ve watched horrific scenes of floods across
the South Eastern U.S., including devastation in one of our
richest pottery regions Western North Carolina. I want to send my
well wishes to those affected by the storm and encourage you the
listener to support relief efforts for artists. There’s a Go Fund
Me site set up for Melissa Weiss, who lost her studio in
Asheville, and the organization CERF+ is already organizing
relief for those affected. You can find out more and donate at
www.cerfplus.org. As the waters recede and more information
becomes available, I’ll report more on how you can support the
community over the next few months.
