HER AND HISTORIES ABOUT
THE GUILD

Before it is too late, and any more data gets lost, the
Guild needs to collect stories, photos, videos, papers,
letters, and any other archival materials, or copies of
such material that pertain to our history. I have been
in touch with several senior members of the Guild, in
a very casual way, and am beginning to realize that
there is a wealth of information that needs to be gath-
ered and saved. So far I have talked to Gisela
Kaempffer, (who has already given us some informa-
tion of the UBC Huts and Olea Davis), Jean Fahrni,
Barbara Lambert, daughter of the Schwenks who had
a pottery in the Penticton area in the 50’s and 60's,
Santo Mignosa, Michael Huyghe, and Georgina
Hughes. They are all looking through their attics as
we speak. Rachelle Chinnery has recently done a lot
of research about pottery in the lower mainland in the
40’s to 60's. The Guild has some archival material,
but some boxes are missing. Does anyone have some
mysterious boxes in their attic?

Do you have: stories, photographs, pots, slides, videos,
information of any pottery events, old studios, or pot-
teries. Please contact me at sloanyip@shaw.ca , or

MoC spring show update

This year’s show was again an amazing feast for the eyes.
We had beautiful weather to go along with our beautiful
pots and the presenter’s attitudes were amazing. It was
also a fantastic sharing of tips, tricks and ideas.
Everything ran like clockwork so I would like to say
thanks to a few people.

Thank you to all the presenters that made this weekend
such an enjoyable experience. The level of quality you
brought to the show will be the foundation for this
show's future success. We would have no reason to do
this show if it wasn't for you.

Thank you to the Pat Schendel and all the Fraser Valley
Potters Guild presenters for organizing the demonstra-
tions. They were a huge success and immensely popular
with the visitors as well as the presenters.

Thank you to Jinny Whitehead and Pia Sillem for help-
ing me with so much. This show is growing into an
immense amount of tasks and I couldn't have done it
without them. We are always looking for more help so if
you would like to get involved with the Christmas show,
please feel free to contact one of us.

Thank you to Shawn Hall of Apogee Public Relations for
his dedication to promoting this event. For the first time
in the history of Made of Clay, we had a huge amount of
radio, TV and newspaper coverage. Some of you may
have seen our spots on Breakfast Television on CityTV,
or one of the continuously run segments on Shaw cable
or maybe you heard the interviews on CBC radio's
North By Northwest. A few of the presenters were even
blessed with being the feature of full page articles in
many of the local newspapers.

Thank you to the Gallery staff for all the promotion
they did and taking care of many small tasks that added
up to a huge help.

And finally I'd like to thank all you members who had

a chance to come down and visit with us. We really
enjoyed the time you spent with us.

Hope you all have a fantastic summer and keep an eye
out for the applications for the Made of Clay at the
Roundhouse show in the summer edition of the newslet-
ter.
