GALLERY SHOP REPORT

Friday, May 28th, was a busy day at the Weat End Community
Centre. Pots were brought in for jurying for Ceramics 82, and
eighteen potters each brought ten pieces of their work to be
shoum to the Gallery shop selection committee.

After the viewing period and lengthy discussion, five of the
pottere had their work selected to be sold in the Gallery Shap.
Including those applications previously accepted this makea a
total of thirty potters.

Lettera have been sent to advise these people of acceptance
or non-acceptance, aa well as a brief critique of their work.
Some of the work which was rejected showed constderable promise,
but had not yet attained the atandard we had set. We would ltke
to express our thanks to them for presenting their pots to the
selection committee. For the interest of the membership we are
listing some of the reasone for non-acceptance:

Several pottera showed tncometetency in quality.

Piecea were ovar decorated or decoration waa not suitable
to the form.

Poor relationship of iandies to form of pot.

Position and form of spout Limite full potential of teapot
usage.
