Amazing Pottery

Need help on identifying face art pottery, possibly Irish/Gaelic? I have 2 pieces of lovely but unusual face art pottery with both marks and artist signatures. The signature is perfectly clear, written into the clay on bottom, but I cannot decipher it. Can only make out the first 7 letters which are..."Deichiu". The remaining letters could be "aua" but I am not sure. All to do with reading handwriting. When I googled the first 7 letters you see above, I got sites that were irish or gaelic, some spoke about the respective languages. Hopefully I am at least on track. The logo, well same thing. I interpret it a capital letter "D" and horizontally centered in it is the letter "Y". Under that is marked very clearly either "NB 44" or "N3 44". They are very heavy pottery pieces, 6.5 " long, 3.5 " wide and 3.5 " tall. The glazing on this brown pottery is a light green, I would say. If anyone with experience in collecting art pottery, Irish, Gaelic or whatever can help me identify what I have, it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks,

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.

Radio ad for fatherhood saying bad things about a pottery career? Hi: I wasn't listening closely, but I barely heard a radio ad with what sounded like Tom Selleck as the narrator, and a father and son dialog and the son mentioned he was interested in pursuing a career as a potter, and the father slammed him for a bad career. Anyone else hear that? I think that is a really bad ad, that slams art as a career in general. That really makes me mad, because that seems to put artistic endeavors in a bad light. I would like to know the actual place that has that ad so I can write them, and I would highly encourage any other artist to do the same. Any helpful information is appreciated.

Trying to expand the art scene here in Las Vegas. What appeals to you? The art culture is growing here. I've been trying to find ways to make extra money and expand my artistic skills. I'm young and enjoy the urban scene: music, fashion, movies, etc. I love unique and creative styles of art. I would like to portray city life, fashion and music into my art but i dont know how many people would buy into it. I want to identify with the youth and young adults. I dont think it's ever too early for them to love art. I was also considering producing one of a kind/limited edition artwork specifically for tourists. Mostly photos and digital work. Most of them come from Europe and Asia and they buy alot of cheap, mass made art. So why not make something better thats limited? What kind of things would you like to see in photography, digital work, paintings, oil pastels, sculptures, pottery, blown glass, etc? And for those of you that are young (14-25 yrs) what is the chances of you buying artwork? Especially if it isnt expensive and appeals to your lifest I love graffiti, but was never able to get far with it. i'm doing pretty well in photography and wanted to take really creative photos of the strip and various areas of the valley. Tourists done really care about anything else other than the strip. i know alot of tourists like artwork of the strip. Most of it isnt that great so I wanted to capture things they would overlook and would not really beable to see like great sunrises and sunsets.
