The facility at Nottingham is first rate... well equipped, and the staff is friendly, hard  working and very well organized. I have been watching them develop over the past few years, and the work they have done since I was there in January, is amazing. There was even one person who is a phd candidate at Davis who spent his vacation working hard to help get things ready to open. Terry's dream of an art center has been a long one, and he did everything the right way when he organized the place. Terry (AND the gang), thanks for a GREAT week!"

"I think Terry Sullivan probably has posted a comment about the tile workshop I did last week at the Nottingham Center for the Arts in San Marcos, California, but I wanted to add my perspective, since this is a new place that many people have not heard of yet. Believe me, they will! This is the only non-profit art center south of Los Angeles in Southern California, and it's going to be a great one! At the moment, it doesn't look like much, but with Terry at its helm, and with the staff that's there now, it's going to be a wonderful facility. When I arrived, there was one functioning electric kiln. When I left, there were two electrics and eight gas kilns hooked up, not to mention the added lawn. Whenever I said I would need something for the workshop, the answer was always, "How do you want it and when do you need it?". And it would be there. The students were wonderful, and staying at "Ranch Relaxo" was a real treat. Next up there- Peter King. Then Louis Katz. If you live in Southern California, get to know this place! And if you don't, it's worth the trip. And, those of you who teach workshops- If Terry Sullivan calls you up and invites you to the Nottingham Center, say yes on the spot! Don't even stop to think about it!"
