    Elaine, I do not think you are at all wrong to say that it is a bit
    on the difficult side. I personally feel it is better that our
    students hear the truth up front and honest, even if it may come
    over as a bit brutal. The ones who truly "have to" do this as an
    artistic outlet or career choice will do it inspite of the obstacles
    and will be the better for it. The ones who keep coming back inspite
    of mild and sometimes not so mild efforts to discourage them are the
    ones I look for. Without learning perseverance one does not make it
    as a craftsperson. It is my way of helping to sorting out the
    wannabes. The market place will work on the rest of us. 

Bill
