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. ak ae 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. _
