Resources!!

I was thinking it might be nice to list some internet sources for supplies, education, and trade infomation. Many of my links are jewelry related, but there are also art related links, too. Please add to this list and share what you know. Thanks, Melissa

Wow, since I'm a jewelry/metals person, you already listed most of what I would have listed.

I would add
http://www.abana.org as a starting place for blacksmithing information

http://www.etsy.com - as a place to sell handcrafted items

Glad to see this back... I forgot about some of my resources. Etsy looks interesting.

I thought of some more:
http://www.cheapjoes.com/store/navigation.asp
http://www.misterart.com/index.cfm?W...lies&WT.srch=1

http://www.zapplication.org/

Yahoo has a potter group called "Potter Barter" for items for sale and used.

I have heard of a ceramics listserv, but I am out of the loop- I think it is related to either Ceramics Monthly mag or Clay Art.
