What type of pottery wheel should I buy? I am signed up a for a beginner's lesson, but recently found out that a local high school will be auctioning off their pottery wheels and kilns. I don't know what type they are, but in general, would this likely be a good purchase? What are the price ranges I should expect? Also, does anyone know where there would be a studio that gives lessons close to Mansfield Ohio? The one I'm signed up at is over an hour away. Thanks!!
How can I find out if Pottery Barn teen is going to have a sale soon? I want to buy some of the furniture in the Chez Moi collection at Pottery Barn teen.

If so, does that happen on any regular kind of basis?
Pottery Barn Reindeer Collection - door buster for Black Friday? I was wondering if anyone knew what the doorbuster for the Pottery Barn Reindeer Collection will be this year - and which items it has been in the past. I am curious if the gravy boat or butter dish were limited to the day after Thanksgiving in previous years since they are so rare, so valuable, and they have not been reissued. If no one knows anything about this, does anyone know of a "underground" website dedicated to the Pottery Barn Reindeer Collection? Thanks so much!

I am facinated by the Polish Pottery I've been finding on ebay, but it seems they have different looks and sizes. Dinner plates seem to run from 9 to 11 inches.

Is there a web site that shows pictures of layouts of pottery studios? I am in the process of building a pottery studio and would like as much information as possible before all of my electrical, lighting, shelving, etc. are completed.

Who can I go to when I wan to fix a broken pottery vase? Can I do it myself? I have a pottery vase that has been broken at one part at the back of the vase. I tried gluing the pieces back together, but they don't quite fit together and there are many pieces missing because they been turn to dust. All I want is just something to fill in the gaps, cover it up, and maybe mask it with a similar color. The break is in the back so it doesn't have to be perfect.

Where in Massachusetts can I buy pottery clay? I am looking for a place close to home which sells a decent clay for pottery throwing. I am especially interested in Raku clays if you know of any local companies which carry this product. I have tried craft stores in the area, but they supply mostly modeling clay. (Which can also be used for throwing, but does not work as well.) The nearest location that I could find that carries the type of clay I am looking for is located over an hour away. I was hoping there was something closer.

It is a large warehouse type retail that had affordable home accessories, fake flowers, kitchen supplies, pottery, art, glassware, outdoor furniture, wicker, etc. Is there anything similar to this near Crystal Lake, IL or Barrington, IL?
How do you open a shop for pottery and other art in a small town. And to have it give back to the community? My family has been to several places to "do your own pottery/ ceramics" and they fire them for you. (In much larger cities) Our size is maybe 12,000 pop. My goal is to open something similar to this yet allow different classes to be taught also. Ex: painting, scrapbooking, batiking, sewing, sculpture, stainglass...any mediums people (children and teenagers also) would be intrested in. A place for all ages (allow kids to have b-day parties!) Also giving teens a place to hang & show their talents. Of course the art mind has no sense of the business mind. I clearly need advice on how this could be started and where to look for financing . It would be a great opportunity for this small town in TX w/nada. Allowing families and kids to do something unique. I have many ideas and themes found by talking to others. I feel that placing some of the profits with local and international charities would be a good way to give back. (Hab 4 Hum, YoungLife, Compassion I.) Just need a place to start.
How do I clean a red canvas/chino sofa (think pottery barn) without losing the color? How do I clean a red canvas/chino sofa (think pottery barn) without losing the color? Can professional upholstery services do this without ruining my sofa? Unfortunately I could not afford the removable slip covers when I purchased the sofa, otherwise I would have removed them and washed them in the delicate cycle. Thanks for your input!
How do you order wholesale lots from Pottery Barn? I see many people on ebay who sell hundreds of pottery barn items that look to be catalog returns or overstocks. I imagine these people are buying wholesale lots. Does anyone know how to buy catalog overstocks from pottery barn besides going to their outlets? I know QVC sells "grab bag" wholesale lots of catalog returns - does Pottery Barn do the same? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

What is Roseville Pottery and is it of any value? I have a piece of pottery that says Roseville Pottery on a sticker. I was going to throw it away, but my girlfried says it may have some value. It's a vase about 13 inches tall. The colors are green and brown and it looks like it has leaves and berries around its neck below where the handles connect. Any ideas? Is it worth putting out for a garage sale or should I just give it to Good Will? Thanks!!
