Though a studio potter may not be interested in mass production methods,
he may find some of the mechanical aids a time and energy saver, such
as the pug mill.

Photographs of different types of potter's wheels with their weights and
prices afford one a chance to "shop" for a wheel of his choice.

The addition of addresses of Canadian dealers handling ceramic
materials and equipment, and a reading list of texts, journals and
magazines will be especially welcomed by those potters inconvenienced
by lack of sources of information.

I would highly recommend this book for any potter's library -
‘Ceramics’ by Glen Nelson. Published by Holt, Rinehart, Winston.

A New Working Tool for Architects and Others Concerned in the Arts
Allied to Architecture

The first volume of a new publication, the RAIC Allied Arts Catalogue,
recently came off the press. The Catalogue is not an "art book" in the
ordinary sense, but a working tool for architects and others concerned
in the commissioning of works of art - sculpture, murals, fine craft
work - for the embellishment of buildings and other structures.

This and succeeding volumes will provide a continuous record of the
current work of contemporary Canadian professional artists already

' collaborating with architects, and will introduce new artists whose
work is considered worthy of attention.

The Catalogue is an extension of the work of the Allied Arts Department
of Architecture Canada, the Journal of the RAIC/la Revue de I'IRAC,
under the editorship of Anita Aarons,

In format the Catalogue consists of single sheets, 8 1/2" x 11", printed
one side only on heavy paper, each devoted to the work of a single
artist. Illustrations are representative of the scope of the artist -
figurative and non-figurative, different media, ete. Color reproduction
is used where color is essential to a proper appreciation of the work. _
