Editorial

During the past month since being hired by the Board to take
on the joint tasks of Administration of the Potter's Guild and Editor
of the Newsletter, | have met with Jan Kidnie a number of times to
enable me to get a sense of the Guild’s workings and who does
what and when.

I know many of you are sad to see Jan leave, | am too. Jan
has been the “face” of the Guild and the friendly voice at the office
that got me involved and kept me coming back. [| have been a
member for quite a few years, but a rather passive one until
recently. | helped out with the newsletter last year, mostly just on
mailing day, and | volunteered at the Gallery on two or three
occasions this past summer and fall.

I took my pottery training at the University of Calgary under
John Chalke, John Porter, Santo Mignosa, and Hal Reigger, more
years ago than | care to remember, and have been involved in
pottery for most of the intervening years one way or another, I have
worked as a high school teacher, an office worker, night school
teacher as well as taking my fair share of workshops and night
school courses to keep up with pottery, computer and other stuff.

I hope my experience will bring something new and of use to
the Potter's Guild in the time to come. Thank you to all the people
who have warmly welcomed me to this position which has been so
well filled by Jan.
