Currently the Future of Newcomb College, Inc. is waging a campaign to reverse the decision by Tulane University to discontinue a degree granting Women’s college. They will be holding a fundraising auction on March 25, 2007 of Newcomb pottery and other Newcomb art or ephemera. A complete article is available on the Antique Trader.

The Wisconsin Pottery Association March 13, 2007 meeting is a presentation by Jim Tyne about Nemadji. A couple of websites on the subject:
A book The Myth And Magic Of Nemadji “Indian” Pottery: History, Identification, And Value Guide provides information on the pottery from an author who interviewed many former employees and owners.

Pottery Studio has a brief history (including the info on cards included with the pottery), marks and a gallery.

An interesting bit of information that ties Nemadji to Van Briggle from Garden & Hearth.

A package from Uruguay brought an extra surprise along with some unusual “Lucky Strike” cocktail stirrers. The stirrers were wrapped inside the tube of a roll of paper towels & then inside a box.
