Vasefinder is not a website about finding vases.  It is an economic movement for the arts, where the history of this medium plays the most important catalyst in what we do.  And what we do in many cases is provide exhibitions, shows and sales, where artists are never charged a penny for their participation.  Vasefinder has been called an altruistic organization in the past, and let me say here and now that I proudly accept that label.  I will also offer to the public that I consider Vasefinder a true artist advocate organization because of the fact that we do not charge artists for many services rendered.  Vasefinder is the one place in this world that I can make these economic decisions, as I see fit. If you are joining Vasefinder because you want to read about the most diverse account of

American Studio Potters, then I say this might be a great place for you. This is not an investment group or a place to determine pricing of your pots.  I do not have a top ten potters to ever work in the United States list.  That does not matter here. Currently, our museum covers a period of 1930-1975, and we will continue expanding it to bring it to current times.  The work includes pottery, clay sculpture and even enamel art in some cases, as this medium was as an accepted expression of the Syracuse Ceramic Nationals.   We have also opened up the Vasefinder International Exhibition to countries outside of our borders because we believe it is important to help all artists, when feasible.

If you decide to join Vasefinder, please know that a large portion of the monies from your membership will directly assist artists through our work.  And for those who seem to always want to ask about how we derive income for our existence; our main source of income is provided through the sales of vintage objects we offer on eBAY as vasefinder-online or through the Charlie B Gallery of Fernley, Nevada.    

Sincerely,

 

Charles A. Blim Jr., President
