Twenty years after our first issue
rolled off the press, production of this
issue — our 100th full-color magazine
in print — is a huge landmark about
which I am very proud. As founder, I
am grateful that I’m still here to bring
you Clay Times, and especially grateful
that you’re still with us to enjoy all
the wonderful things CT has to offer.
So it probably won’t surprise you that this
issue opens with a bit of nostalgia. I’ve
included my own chronicles on the birth
of the magazine, accompanied by a bit
of CT trivia (see pg. 14-16). Then on page
17, you will find a reprint of John Britt’s
crossword puzzle, themed “Bernard
Leach.” Just in time for the holidays,
you’ll also find a reprint of Bill van
Gilder’s step-by-step article on making
stoneware muffin pans (see pages 31-33).
While we don’t normally run reprints
of prior articles, it seemed appropriate
with this 20th anniversary edition to
offer newcomers a glimpse into the
rich history of original content that
comprises our online library. If you’re
interested in more crosswords or more
step-by-step pottery projects, you’ll be
pleased to find complete collections of
these articles available online.
As this issue goes to press, our
downloadable back issue index has been
updated so you can quickly search for any
previously published topic, article, issue,
author, or featured artist. Nearly all back
issues of Clay Times are still available in
print. Back issues may also be ordered as
PDF files for instant download, or as part
of our annual back issue PDF collections
on CD.
Newly available from our Web store this
season are Clay Times studio posters
including “Bowls”, “Handles”, “Lids”,
“Feet”, and more — all back by popular
demand! Please take a moment to log on
to our redesigned Website and store at
claytimes.com to explore and experience
all of the new options designed to help
you in your clay studio or classroom.
