<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sedona, post: 241650, member: 4438&quot;]Hello all. The Los Angeles Pottery Show is this weekend, May 20-21, at the Pasadena Convention Center. I have attended the last five years or so.</p><p><br /></p><p>According to emails I have received from various vendors who will be there, the L.A.P.S. was started in 1999 by two producers. After last year&#039;s show, the producers decided the show would be the last, and they retired. The current owner, Kyle Shiroma, bought the show and revived it for this year.</p><p><br /></p><p>Granted I attend for only one day, and for no more than an hour or so, but from what I&#039;ve seen I would be hard-pressed to find 10 customers under 50, and none under 30. I don&#039;t think many people that age collect anything, whether it&#039;s stamps, coins, fountain pens, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>I certainly hope the show is a success and I am planning on attending. But, I was wondering if this is indicative of pottery collecting, or if popularity is cyclical, or perhaps this is just local to Southern California. For instance, I know there are many wonderful historic potteries in Ohio, so perhaps pottery collecting is stronger in the American Midwest.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
