Binky - 1990 Mascot

And the folks, the folks... ! Some were
so enthralled with the beauty and diver-
sity of the work, they just couldn't de-
cide what to take home. One couple
came at 5:35 after | locked to door, “Oh
please, we just want to look and take 5
minutes.” “Sure, I still have to count the
float." Bink, exhausted. sniffed and
collapsed in his bed. Those folks looked,
talked, Jooked again (New York versions
of Monty Python characters), and talked
some more. It was after seven when |
finally left, but they had bought $300
worth of ceramics and went to visit the
artist, which | arranged over the phone.
And then they stayed and talked te him
for another two hours! That's business!

and consideration, the Board of the Guild
has agreed to make $2,500 available
towards the production of the video being

Okanagan about Cris Giuffrida's anag-
ama kiln. Entitled “Painting With Fire",
we look forward to Its corplelion!

MEETING NOTES

Don Hutchinson, Bob Kingsmill, and
Donna McLaren were guest gurus at the
Guild meeting held in mid-November in
the Gallery, with an audience approach-
ing 20 people. There weren't too many
technical questions asked, much to
Don's disappointment, buat a wide range
of subjects was discussed from the GST
to how to improve as well as promote
one’s work.

We hope to have another similar session
in the new year, inviting perhaps kiln
amd /or material experts. and so, in
anticipation, jot your questions down in
the meantime. The next meeting will of
course by the AGM In January, but in
March at the latest we will hold another
general get-together.

LIBRARY NEWS

Awork session is planned for Thursday,
January 17 from 10 am to 2 pm. If you
can spend even two hours, your help
would be appreciated. Phone or leave a
message at the office.
