A new domain name for the Online School

1/4/2019

Counting from the day I began learning how to use a video camera, I've been building the Good Elephant Pottery Online School for 2.5 years now. As of today, there are 22 videos. I'd say I'm about half way to finishing everything that I was envisioning from the start. And I'm really pleased with the way it's turning out, including the feedback I'm getting from students. 

Looking forward, I will start spinning off the Online School from Good Elephant Pottery. I plan to retire from making pots full-time at some point, but I want the Online School to keep running. So it's time for the school to get its own domain name!

As you can see, the names "learnpottery.com" and "Good Elephant Pottery Online School" are both being used. I figure anyone who learned about the school because you know me, or my pots, will continue to associate it with Good Elephant Pottery. Anyone who learns about the school from now on will probably identify it with the new domain name, because it's shorter and easier to remember. Either is fine with me!

Along with the launch of the new website, I have just released new videos on the subject of glazing. Glazing Basics is free to watch. Glaze Like a Pro ($39) reveals all of my techniques and attitudes about cone 6 oxidation glazing, and subject that sorely needs more nuanced and in-depth instruction.
Happy New Year to all the potters!

A little bribery can't hurt.

I had a monster online sale this year, selling out in less than two hours. That's the fun part, but then comes the hard part, where I have to pack all of those pots safely into shipping cartons. It took two whole days! I know the UPS guys are severely overworked at this time of year, and probably don't want to make a pickup of 25 large boxes. I tried to ease the pain with some cookies. And I think it may have helped. The boxes were picked up around 8pm on a Thursday, and I had one box destined for Raleigh, NC, that was delivered the very next day. I still don't understand how that's logistically possible. And I had several boxes headed for the Boston area, and one to the Chicago area, that were delivered on Saturday. Now it has been over two weeks since everything was delivered, with no reports of breakage!
