First Annual Spring Sale

Boy was that a fun weckend! Everything went
along so well and everybody helped so much its hard
to comprehend. Thank you everyone for chipping in
and doing so much to help make our first Made in
Clay such a wonderful success,

It's impossible to thank everyone individually
though | would really like to be able to do so. I do
want to sincerely thank the Subcommittee Chairs:
Heather Cairns, Lynda Chelak, Patrick Taddy, Jan
Kidnie, Anna Bjamason, Rosemary Amon and Maggi
Kneer for their exceptional effort. In order for Made
in Clay to happen these people contributed an
incredible amount of time and energy in preparation
for this sale. Without their dedication this sale
couldn't have happened.

In order to get a grasp on which advertising is
most effective and start a mailing list, the idea of a
Purchaser's Prize was conceived by Heather Cairns,
Zelik Segal of Vancouver, who heard about Made in
Clay on the radio, won the prize: a pit-fired piece
made and donated by Lewis Krzyczkowski. It seems
the most effective advertising was the huge banner
that hung over the entrance to Granville Island. It
seems to have brought in the most people. Did you
catch Bob Kingsmill giving Mark Forsythe, from the

Afternoon Show on CBC radio, a lesson on how to
throw a pat? It was broadcast just an hour before
our sale opened!! Bob was his wonderful self and we
thank him for the support.

The food the Lazy Bay Cafe provided was
soooo good. It was a real treat to have them with us.

In case you're curious, the top individual seller
at our first sale was Judy Weeden. The top booth
was Susan Clarke and lan Kennard. Congratulations!
All the booths looked great, We had a professional
look with a diverse variety of pieces made in clay
available for sale

The common bond we share working with clay
was by far the most important part of this sale for
me. We are a vibrant, supportive community that is
very much alive, See you next year'!
