I don’t know about you but I am so loving the designs coming out for scrub suits these days. Nurses must have been a field day, having more options than the usual green, blue and grey drab colors for people in the medical field before. There are nice Cherokee pants for men in ScubsandBeyond.com.

I personally like the cherokee scrubs, it feels like you are not reporting for work in the hospital with how fashionable they are!

There are also  discount scrubs, scrubs for all sizes (even plus sizes and maternity!) and student scrubs. You can get discounts if you buy in group or bulk as well. They even offer matching nursing clogs.

If you look closely, they are Tinkerbell clogs. They feature character scrubs which are great for nurses who work in the pediatric ward.There are Baby Looney Tunes, Tweety Bird, Care Bears, Hello Kitty, Tinkerbell, Winnie the Pooh and Skelanimals!

If you want to know more about pottery, I suggest you learn through the experts first. You can get an instructional video on wheel throwing at the AMACO/Brent web site. The instructor is no less than Dee Schaad, Art and Design Department Chairman at the University of Indianapolis. He introduces new ceramic artists to throwing on a potter’s wheel by demonstrating the basics for creating a cylinder, small bowl, large bowl, and trimming. He also recommends the tools needed for each technique.It comes in DVD, 42 minutes in length.

Of course the trademark of Brent® potters wheels is unmistakable. Potters around the globe know the trademark gold slash pans as its mark.

If you are interested in slab tiles and plates, you can get slab rollers. A slab roller is a simple and effective way of making large areas or numbers of clay slabs. They take the hard work out of rolling, and replace the old fashioned rolling pin and rolling guides. A good slab roller will speed up the production time of potters who make slab plates & tiles, make pottery classroom activities easier & less messy, and ensure a better quality slab. It is even endorsed by Corey Jefferson, Ceramic Instructor – Heron School of Art and Designs

Sooner or later, all women would need a hobby aside from shopping as an outlet of release for stress. Many women have turned to the tried and tested gardening, crocheting, knitting, baking and cross-stitching. But have you ever tried pottery? Remember how the character of Demi Moore in the movie Ghost used that as a hobby and a business? It can be really relaxing.

You can get american art clay from AMACO/Brent. AMACO owns Brent®, the most popular line of potter’s wheels, which features equipment suitable for the contemporary studio market that can reduce costs and increase profits, so that studio customers of all ages can throw pots and decorate them. You can even find neighborhood clay studios where you can learn the art of clay plate glazing (using hump molds). You need a hand extruder to make pots too.

Look at what you can do:
