The following letter gives thanks to a mentor for helping the writer develop her skills as a clay sculptor. She also gives thanks for the help she received re firing ceramics. Enjoy!

*************************************************

Dear Bud:

Thank you ever so much for helping me get to where I am in clay sculpture.

Although you are another studio member and not my personal teacher, you have given me encouragement, advise and enjoyment for over five years.

I would not have gotten through the hard times without your exquisite advise and encouragement.

You also told me technical aspects needed for successfully completing and firing ceramic work. You also appreciated and understood my personal stuff as well.

Thank you again. I never would have developed without you.

Jane
