Canadian Clay Symposium
Surfacing: Saturday, March 24, 2007

Registration for the Canadian Clay Symposium: Surfacing, 1s underway.
Hopefully, you’ve received the brochure for the symposium. Brochures
have now been mailed to many guilds and teaching facilities throughout
the province; it’s a great piece that will look most excellent on a wall
and has more information for you to peruse.

The presenters that will talk about all aspects of the ceramic surface
and much more are: Robin Hopper, Karen Burk, Sam Ulrick, Kinichi
Shigeno, Diane Creber, Mark Hewitt, Bob Kingsmill, Jeannie Mah, and
key note speaker Magdelene Odundu.

Surrounding the symposium are other exciting ceramic events and
presentations to take advantage of. Mark Hewitt will be doing a one-
day workshop at the Shadbolt Centre on the Sunday, the day after the
symposium (March 25) . You may want to register for both at the same
time! Starting on Monday, March 26, Diane Creber will be doing a
three-day, hands-on crystalline glaze workshop. Sam Ulrick will be
doing a workshop at the Delta Potters Guild on the Thursday and
Friday prior (March 22 and 23) as well.

° “oan informal walkabout with Carol Mayer in the afternoon to talk 6 0 A . 2 9 1 . 6 8 6 4

We will once again have the Ceramic Roadshow at the symposium,

so start thinking about bringing your favorite, first, oldest, newest piece
you've made, bought or recetved-t’s up to you! This is always an amazing show and it will be exciting
to see what gems will be part of the 2007 show.

We are asking for mugs for the Maureen Wright Educational Fund. We will sell mugs for $15 each
so it’s a great opportunity to support an educational fund as well as take home a fine handmade
mug.

Remember your registration includes your lunch and this year will include pizza/appetizers from
5 p.m.—7 p.m. as well for a social at the end of the day. Each symposium has been a sell out, so plan
to register early. @ Cathi Jefferson
