Mentor Meetup Wrap Up
Last night, we held our first event at our newest location, One Press Place. We continually preach the importance of mentors and last night was the beginning of strengthening our mentor network in Athens. At our first Mentor Meetup we assembled a panel of three mentors, a moderator and two entrepreneurs to talk about their experiences as mentors, with mentors and how to get involved.
The conversation was informative, free flowing and moderated by Kelly Storm of Blackbox Operations. Our wonderful mentor panel consisted of Jacqui Chew, Paul Freet and Paul Valcheff. Jan Burkins, founder of Literacyhead and Chris Bell, founder of wagglez, provided the entrepreneurial perspective.
The panel began with a high level overview of the expectations of a mentor, the approaches to mentoring and the difference between a mentor, advisor and consultant. There was lots of debate on the amount of time, level of contact and time commitment required of a mentor. Other interesting topics surrounded what mentors should discuss (anything they were skilled or comfortable with), their required level of expertise (no more than a willingness to help) and the evolving nature of mentor relationships.
Becoming a mentor is a highly personal and self-directed mission. It can't be foisted upon you by an outside force.
If anyone is interested in learning more about our mentor network, becoming a mentor or just talking with startups, please reach out!

Defoe strike eases Tottenham woesJanuary 19th, 2009 - 4:01 pm ICT by IANS
London, Jan 19 (DPA) Jermain Defoe scored against his former team as Tottenham Hotspur moved out of the Premier League relegation zone with a 1-1 draw against Portsmouth.David Nugent had put Portsmouth ahead, before Defoe levelled with 20 minutes remaining Sunday.
Tottenham lost striker Roman Pavlyuchenko to an ankle injury, while defender Ledley King, who has had such a frustrating time with injury, limped off with a hamstring strain.
Nugent had missed two presentable chances in the first half, but he struck 14 minutes after half-time.
Goalkeeper David James made a superb save to keep out a deflected effort from Aaron Lennon, Portsmouth broke and when Vedran Corluka's challenge on Armand Traore fell for Nugent, he sent his first Premier League goal skimming in from 20 metres.
The ball took the slightest flick off the heel of Gareth Bale who, remarkably, is still to finish on the winning side for Spurs after 21 league appearances.
Defoe had had two great chances to score against the club he left earlier this month in the first half.
The first he put wide; the second was tipped over by James, who enjoyed a fine afternoon.
But finally, when teed up by Luka Modric, Defoe made it count, drilling a shot between Sol Campbell's legs and past an unsighted James.
From then on it was all Tottenham as Modric came increasingly into the game.
James saved well from David Bentley, Sean Davis headed off the line from Corluka, and Darren Bent put a free header wide, but Portsmouth held out to end a run of four straight league defeats.
In the day's other game, West Ham United eased their relegation fears with a 3-1 victory over Fulham.
Mark Noble restored West Ham's lead from the penalty spot after Paul Konchesky had cancelled out David Di Michele's early opener.
Carlton Cole added a third to make the game safe with 14 minutes remaining.
The victory lifts West Ham to eighth, eight points off the drop zone.
Fulham, unbeaten in their previous nine, are three points behind but have two games in hand.
Forward Craig Bellamy was left out of the West Ham squad, apparently a reaction to the way he stormed out of training Friday.
The Wales international has been angered at West Ham's refusal to sell him, despite interest from Manchester City and Tottenham.

Ya gotta love Bryan's Diamonds! Nice work Bryan!
I can also see this one staying UNDER the total as well with winds expected to be blowing in from right field up to 8 mph. Reds Home games have gone UNDER 5 of 9 games this season at 56%, which is picking up from last year where they had more UNDERS than OVERS in Home Games. Also as an Away Team, the Cubs have gone UNDER 6 out of 10 this season, also picking up from where they left off last season, going UNDER 60% in 2013.
The UNDER is 7-1 in Samardzijas last 8 starts as an underdog and 15-7 in his last 24 starts during game 1 of a series. Although I haven't released the UNDER as a play, my system has this Total at 7, so there is value at 7.5. BOL Bryan!

"People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and make you look deep inside."
Your life is a puzzle and a soul mate is the piece to the puzzle that make it all come together. The problem is how do you know when you found them. Your soul mate may come along in a package that you may not expect ( race, religion, nationality physically, or political views) or your soul mate may come along when you are not looking for one. So how if you are at a time in your life where you may have given up on trying to find your soul mate or you maybe in another relationship do you know if you found your soul mate that is still a mystery. It's all about timing.
Source(s):When God Winks on Love by Squire Rushnell
"Your soul mate is the "other you". This will be the one you spend the rest of your life loving, and getting to know. You will still argue and fight, but you will also complete each others sentences and instinctively understand the others feelings. This is the person you look for all your life, and no matter when you find them, they are always worth the wait."

Alan Wallwork
A Retrospective Exhibition
front cover: large crescent form #AW60
Alan Wallwork A Retrospective Exhibition September 2012 at The Oxford Ceramics Gallery
Introduction One of most distinctive of post-war potters, Alan Wallwork's commitment to handbuilding has been unfailing over some fifty years. He has, from the outset, been remarkably inventive, making a range of individual forms that draw on the landscape, his pieces having resembled archaic, sometimes totemic shapes, and, most familiarly, structures in nature; seed pods, pebbles, shells and fossils. His techniques have included coiling, slabbing and shaping directly in the hand, and occasionally using thrown components. The surfaces are varied; often pitted and pierced or abraded, sometimes as smooth as an egg or stone. There is an intimacy, a tactility about Alan's work. It needs to be touched, the smaller pieces cupped and turned in the palm. If Alan's art is part of any tradition, it is that tradition of exciting and experimental building that grew up around the Central School and Goldsmiths' College in the 1950s. He was one of a new generation of artist-potters who explored the sculptural possibilities of built clay, usually with containment as a basis. The adventurousness of such work related not only to the earliest most elemental pots, but to contemporary developments in sculpture – in Britain the work of William Turnbull, Eduardo Paolozzi and Hubert Dalwood for example – and several painters too who used biomorphic and organic imagery. There was a fresh sense that anything was possible in clay. Rules could be broken. One could move confidently beyond more traditional thrown pottery to explore its broader expressive potential, in Alan's case skilfully using matt glazes and oxides to enhance the rich textures of the material and the organic, sometimes preternatural nature of these pieces. The more articulated quality of much of his early work soon gave way to predominantly rounded forms, covetable oval and spherical pots that look as if they have been polished and refined by wind and water and bleached and coloured by the sun. Alan Wallwork is one of the great individualists in British pottery, one who has steered his own course, always interested in new developments, but not in the suddenly changing winds of fashion. After his many years in France, it is good to have him and his strong unmistakeable work back in our midst. We could do with more like him. David Whiting, August 2012
In the Artist's Words Blurring the look and feel of things with shrinkwrapping was a long way off when I was little, out shopping with my mother. I could learn how things felt, as well as watch skilful things being done. There was much to smell as well. My mother bought sugar loose at Arthur East's, corn,seed and fuel merchant's. This was a long bare wood floored cavern with a high wooden counter to one side. There, one of the brown coated men dug into one of the bins behind him with a grey metal scoop, tipped the contents into a gleaming brass scoop on his scales with their handsome brass weights, then poured out the sugar onto a big sheet of thick blue paper. Then he did some origami and a plump parcel appeared without use of string, tape or anything else. Just clever folding. I, meanwhile, was free to dive my hands into any of the long rows of bulging open sacks in lines down the shop floor, their tops neatly rolled down. They held wheat, barley, oats, dried peas, beans, and on and on. Some held dogbiscuits in many shapes and sizes, some were multicoloured and looked tasty. They were not, I found. Coal was on show in an adjoining room. Shallow trays held samples in many grades and lump sizes, many different patinas and smells. Back in the street again there would often be more to watch and wonder at. Men doing fascinating, skilful things. A man up a ladder painting ornate lettering above a shopfront, with brush and mahlstick. I marvelled at his steadiness of hand as the letters were outlined and filled, with flourishes. Somewhere else a man might be burning off old paint before repainting. This was really dramatic, beginning with the ritual of firing up his blackened brass
blowlamp. First the warming up from the almost invisible delicate blue flames of methylated spirits. Then main ignition after pumping up pressure in the paraffin reservoir. The thrilling, throbbing, long blue flame leaping out and the man letting it lick over an area of old paint until the surface began to heave, blister and bubble and then his metal scraper blade followed the flame, lifting long writhing snakes of molten paint, often still flaming as they fell to the littered pavement. The smell beckoned from afar. Solvents then had good smells, turpentine, linseed oil, none then minded the high lead also in the paint. Sometimes there would be someone putting in a window, thumbing putty down the edges, smoothing it with long knife movements, giving the trimmings out to the eager hands of small boys for them to delight in its plasticity, rolling it into balls and thin rolls, savouring its fragrance. But the greatest spectacle of all was the openfronted smithy on one side of the wide square in the town centre, where cattle markets were held. I stood in wonder there for hours as massive,quiet carthorses stood patiently as their huge shaggy hooves were fitted with new shoes. One of the smiths would cradle an obediently lifted hoof between his knees, prising off the old worn out shoe, then another smith would fish out a new shoe from those buried in the bright glowing centre of the hearth at the dark recesses of the forge, where the bellows were. Holding the hot metal in long heavy tongs he offered it up to the naked hoof and a great burst of smoke rose with the pungent reek of scorched horn and hair. The great horse seemed oblivious of the drama. Then the shoe would be reheated, reshaped, tried again, then quenched in a bucket of scummy water. Flame,smoke,steam,the clang of hammer
on iron. The rough whitewashed wall hung all too. When I came to open a gallery, I still fancied along with mysterious tools of their majestic trade. myself as a painter then, half my meagre income came from jewellery making and I halfheartedly This looked like real work to me. I wanted to do tried the treadmill of making domestic pottery. something like that when schooling was over and I was free. It was the workshop itself I yearned for.

Later I had added a big garden to the too evil to risk use didn't wash with Kenneth, essential ingredients. I have been very fortunate or myself. Kenneth Clark and his associates too to find what I was looking for in superb were obviously working very happily to cater surroundings. I knew also that I wanted to make for the needs of the present day, not yearning things, I wasn't sure at first what they might be! for some, probably mythical, romantic past of noble craftsmen before the Industrial Revolution To have been making pottery for so long came screwed up the world, but at least improved about accidentally, as I shall explain later. If I dentistry, as P.J.O'Rourke wisely points out. had encountered certain influences strongly enough I might well have been permanently Because, at Goldsmiths, I learnt to appreciate deterred. I had tried my hand at wood carving those primitive ways of pot-forming, I came to and working in silver and copper before I taught favour the qualities that come naturally from myself some of the pottery skills. I could see that them. Pots formed solely with the hands invite jewellery making might earn me a living, and it being picked up and handled. Perhaps even would involve a workshop too, flame and drama caressed. From an early age I responded
to the stone tools exhibited in archeological museums, especially the hand axes. All those tools were of course handheld, made to fit the hand, wonderfully simplified, economical, Visually superb, but with a definite purpose. My pots may use their forms as a starting point but, because they are hollow can hold water if desired people can use them for flower arrangements and this I like. I have seen many wonderfully imaginative examples. My pot is only a component of another's creativity. When I sold through my friend Berey Pealing's shop in Lyme Regis, Annie, his wife, often made an arrangement in one of my pieces for display in the main shop window. She used bits and pieces she had found on the seashore during her early morning walk. It helped to sell the pot, people were being shown that the pot, maybe unconventional in form,was still capable of other functions. Buyers, often from a city, asked if they could take the display as well. While, for me at least, there was a golden period at the Devon Guild of Craftsmen, under the directorship of Andy Christian, I was allowed to set out my pots for myself in my allotted showspace with quick additions of whatever dried stuff I could find along the river bank. There it is, my pots have no deep "message", or not consciously. They have the simple forms I personally warm to and I try to give them a variety of pattern and texture that I find sympathetic to the touch, not just the eye. Colour is not all important, but surface is. I hope my pots invite being picked up and felt. I once was visited by a party of blind children and that really was heartwarming as they exclaimed over the feel of what I'd been working on. At the Devon Guild I once observed an old lady embrace a large pot I had on display. "Oh dear!" she exclaimed, embarrassed by her impulsiveness, "I don't why I did that!" It
certainly made me feel good. Another woman, while I was putting out my pots, said, perhaps accusingly, "my husband sits in the evening holding the pot of yours we bought!" How nice So, putting things away in glass cases I don't like. But times have changed, now if people are too free to handle things…they may well nick them! Alan Wallwork, July 2012

Biography Born Watford, Hertfordshire, England in 1931 With an early interest in film design, he was put on the waiting list for a training scheme launched by J. Arthur Rank studios. Two years of National Service intervened and now with other ambitions he began the NDD course at Watford School of Art. A severe illness and hospitalisation cut this short. As a form of recuperation it was suggested he took a two year residential course at Newlands Park Teachers Training College, Buckinghamshire . Here he had unlimited access to well equipped pottery and painting studios. A lengthy delay in the appointment of a lecturer left him to find his own way in pottery techniques, guided only by Bernard Leach's Potters Book. High grades on graduation won him eligibility for a special one year course at Goldsmiths College, S. London with access to any Art School classes of choice. He chose pottery, painting, etching and fabric printing. The pottery classes were run by Kenneth Clark and Gordon Baldwin. Their broad approach to pottery techniques and an open minded view of original uses for craft pottery made a strong and lasting impression on him. On leaving Goldsmiths in 1956 he took a series of posts at local secondary schools, reducing teaching time as in 1957 he converted shop premises in Forest Hill, S. London, for use as a gallery with the upper floors as studios and accommodation for himself and a partnership of other ex-Goldsmiths students. Opening in 1958, and named the Alan Gallery, paintings by the partners were to be shown with bought in ceramics by London potters: Lucy Rie, Kenneth Clark, Ann Wynn Reeves, David Eeles among them. It was soon clear that pottery sold better than paintings and Wallwork fitted out rooms at the back of the gallery and began making his own pottery, at first thrown domestic ware, moulded brush decorated dishes and hand built pieces, including lampbases and "pinched" bowls. All were fired at earthenware temperature. Domestic ware was tinglazed and brush or sgraffito decorated. Later matt glazes in black, brown or yellow-green were introduced. Much use was made of rubbed on oxides to give a warm, "toasted" look to unglazed areas of hand built work. Incised textures, often inlaid with white slip and impressed decoration using clay stamps and "roulettes" were favoured. While experimenting with dripped and trailed glaze pools, he hit on effects which he developed into a range of tiles which rapidly found an avid market. This success paved the way to phasing out domestic earthenware and the purchase of a better kiln for high temperature stoneware, in alternation with the flourishing earthenware tiles. The weight of pottery sales against paintings led to the amicable withdrawal of his original partners and the dropping of bought in work as his own took over the gallery space. Advertising possible need for an assistant led to the appearance of Bernard Rooke, also exGoldsmiths, whose kindred views on techniques and aspirations prompted an offer to him of a share of the workshop and living space. Both potters soon found rapidly growing demand for their work and Wallwork became aware that he was blatantly infringing the approved use of the gallery for retail only.
He found much larger premises in Greenwich comprising of a large shop with three floors above and a basement below, all with existing use for light industry having formed part of a hacksaw blade factory, now divided off. Bernard Rooke agreed to rent the basement, Robert and Sheila Fournier took a large upper room as did the painter Cyril Reason. The shop area was fitted out as a showroom, Wallwork working in the rear and other rooms above. The aim was to offer showspace for all the occupants, hopefully attracting the custom of architects, interior designers and craft retailers. Sales rose rapidly, especially for Rooke and Wallwork. Wallwork had had designs accepted by the Design Centre and his work was included in their touring exhibitions abroad. His tiles were also on the Design Index. He formed a rewarding and friendly relationship with Heals of Tottenham Court Road through their amicable buyer, Mark Ransome. Heals and the flourishing Craftsmen Potters Association, of which he was elected a Council Member, became major outlets, then easily accessible from Greenwich before the days of traffic congestion. Demand developed so rapidly that he began taking on assistants. These were employed partly to help decorate the tile ranges and partly to help with a growing repertoire of small and medium hand built pieces, made in quantity, Wallwork completing the final shaping and decorating. These more modest pieces were marked either with an impressed or incised W. Large pieces were coiled or thrown or a combination of both. Some assistants with exceptional aptitude in hand -building alternated with Wallwork himself in the building up of large pieces so that several forms could be under construction at the same time under his supervision. A large electric kiln was installed. The clay body now used incorporated a coarse fireclay with many impurities. At stoneware temperature the burning off of the impurities created a reduced atmosphere in the kiln chamber giving the work the "toasted� look normally achieved in a flame kiln and added subtleties to glaze colour and surface. The kiln elements suffered as a result of the reduction but the results were judged worth the cost. Individual pieces were marked with an incised, linked A W. Heals were instrumental in his work being included in a major exhibition at Illums Bolighus, Copenhagen at a time when several important department stores were co-operating internationally. Another major development was a substantial order for tiles from an advertising agency, J. Walter Thompson for a promotional campaign. The scale of this order prompted the purchase of a large ex-chapel in Marnhull, Dorset to provide more workshop space and the installation of more kilns and the taking on of more assistants. Commuting between the two workshops became irksome and he wound down the Greenwich studios, subletting to other potters, Sally Vinson and Henna Thomas amongst others. In the mid 1960's he moved down to live and work full time in Dorset. In addition to the electric kilns for tile firing a large propane kiln was installed for reduction fired stoneware and local women taken on, mainly as tile decorators, the most skilled also assisting with pottery processes. A high volume of work was produced for a number of years, the tiles finding an eager market in the USA, Australia and Europe, as well as the UK. Pottery sales were channelled through Heals, Briglin Pottery and the Craftsmen Potters Shop. He contributed less and less to formal exhibitions because of the forward commitment, transportation etc.
By the mid 1970's however he became increasingly concerned with the environment and his own profligate use of energy and felt an urge to downsize. He cut down more and more his contacts with London as the traffic problem grew. He built and fired a woodburning kiln but was unconvinced that this was enough of a solution..to reduce environmental impact as, although the fuel used was renewable, pollution was increased. Events decided matters for him when inflation and national instability took precedence in 1979. With time his team of assistants had shrunk in number without being replaced and he began to sell off equipment preparatory to looking for more modest premises. One last venture was with a range of broken textured plain coloured tiles commissioned by a kitchen furniture firm. These proved alarmingly popular but tedious to produce and when he was asked to increase production twenty fold he called a halt to it all and put the Marnhull studios up for sale and began to look for new premises on the Dorset coast. A house and workshop was found in woodland high above Lyme Regis in a spectacular but somewhat impractical setting. He produced a volume of organically inspired hand built forms with an emphasis on dramatic surface textures, cracked and pitted. Illness and hospitalisation interrupted and an opportunity arose to buy in a more accessible and sunnier position on an opposite hilltop across the valley. A substantial workshop was built next to the house, the big gas kiln lifted in by crane and after a difficult year work began again at Whitty Down Farm, Higher Rocombe. "Pebble" forms, "seedpod" forms - made from a basic sphere - two "pinch" bowls joined rim to rim then grooved, segmented, altered in various ways. Experiments were made with contrasting clay bodies: porcelain blending into stoneware, porcelain forms encrusted in craggy stoneware. "Crescent" forms with intricate piercing, the piercing inlaid with colour and translucent glazes. "Cleft spheres" - rounded forms deeply cut into allowing a glimpse of translucent glaze deep in the core, the crust heavily textured and pierced. Thrown and coiled oval forms half split open, the split edges fretted and pierced in manifold ways. Tall "female" forms, torso like, waisted and modelled with simple matt glazes and deep "navel" piercing. A slight stroke in the late 1990's impaired for a time the use of his right arm and prevented throwing for sometime but he was still able to make his small "pinched" forms with his one good hand and theactivity probably aided the restoration of almost full use of both once more.The experience seemed a signal that the time was nigh for a change of pace. Whitty Down Farm was sold, the kiln demolished and Wallwork set off to fulfill a long held desire to spend time in France. In 2004 an old stone building with workshop space was bought in Missegre, a delightful, fairly high and remote village in the foothills of the Pyrenees, near Limoux in the Aude. There he built a top loader propane fired kiln and began once more to make pottery. His original intention was to make leisurely trips back to England, exploring new routes each time with a van load of finished work for sale through favourite outlets back home. Two of these trips were enough to show him that long distance driving in a large vehicle was no longer a pleasure for him and his partner and longtime friend, Barbara Huxley. Reg Moon, also a longtime friend , drove down to Missegre and took back the first batch of work for exhibition in is his gallery in Henley in Arden. 37
Since then several consignments have gone back by carrier to John Rastall of the Harlequin Gallery and Oxford Ceramics, some also to the Devon Guild and for a major exhibition at Walford Mill Craft Centre in conjunction with his daughter Amanda's paintings and his grandson, Rowan Stickland's sculptures. With declining health and physical capabilities the Walford Mill show was his last attempt to make large forms. He has settled for small and medium pieces, Variations on his favourite "crescent" forms made partly by slab, part by coil building take precedence being less physically demanding. The simple, sweeping outer curvatures, contrasting with the plane surfaces, allowing scope for tactile permutations - an outer "crust" protecting a complex inner core, pierced and glaze inlaid - continue to stimulate his interest.

The Secret Trick to Making a Pie Crust Look Amazing
It takes 1 minute
It's Thanksgiving and you're going to make the piecrust from scratch, goddammit. Here, a genius way to quickly crimp the edges--no uneven thumbprints required.
What you need: A pearl necklace. (We're talking the cheapo one you have in your costume jewelry drawer.)
What you do: Unhook the clasp and gently press the pearls along the perimeter of your piecrust. Remove.
The result? A perfectly even pattern. Seriously. It'll look store-bought.
