How to become a member of GreatPottery.com

All Clayart members and anyone who loves clay are welcome to join the Great Pottery web site. If you would like to become a member of the site, please contact the webmaster, Debby Schwartz, at debschwar@comcast.net

Each member will contribute $25 (US) to be applied to the costs of the site, which include costs for the domain name and costs for web hosting; Debby will donate her time to maintain the web site and pay the bills.  After the initial payment, maintenance of the site will run each member around $10 per year.

 

The web site has a basic format for the web pages and a few guidelines regarding photographs.

Webpage format:

  • each page has a banner with the potter's name and city of residence.
  • each page has a reasonably current photo of the potter.
  • text can be of an unlimited amount (for hints on how to create text, click here.)
  • each page has 10 to 15 featured photos and as many photos as desired in the photo gallery. The photo gallery is a new feature and not all members have one yet.
  • each potter's contact information, at the bottom of each page, can consist of any or all of the following:
    • mailing address
    • studio address
    • phone number(s)
    • e-mail address
    • a link to a personal web page for those potters who have one
    • a link to online photo galleries for those who have these

Photographs:

Debby will crop, resize and tweak your photographs as needed; she prefers that you not crop or size them in advance. Photos can be sent via email. Resolution of at least 150 ppi is preferred, please do not convert photos to 72 ppi in advance.
