Canadian Clay Symposium
Surfacing: Saturday, March 24, 2007

It’s hard to believe that the fourth triennial Canadian Clay Sympostum
is almost here. It’s going to be such a great day! A reminder to
registrants: Everyone needs to bring a favorite / old / new / quirky /
first / current piece to the fantastic one-day Ceramic Roadshow for
everyone to enjoy. This is always such a great show and I can hardly
wait to see the gems that appear this symposium.

Also, please remember to bring mugs for sale to support the Maureen
Wright North West Ceramics Foundation education fund. The mugs
will be for sale at $15 each and will work perfectly for the coffee/tea
that 1s available for you throughout the day. There will be Canadian
Clay Symposium bags for sale as well.

Lunch 1s provided for you and we are introducing munchies from 5
to 7 p.m., so everyone will have a chance to visit and enjoy pizza and
finger foods.

Brand new this symposium, Mark Hewitt will give a one-day
workshop the day following the symposium, Sunday, March 25. ‘This
is a day not to be missed! Mark lives in Pittsboro, North Carolina, and
is an authority on traditional pottery made 1n his region. His book, The
Potters Eye, is an excellent resource and great book. Mark 1s a terrific
speaker and maker of incredibly beautiful functional dishes. He has the
ability to throw pieces more than three feet tall!

As you may have read in his artist profile in the December issue of
BC Potters, Mark Hewitt fires in an anagama kiln and uses glass, as
done traditionally in his region. He has definitely made this part of his
decoration uniquely his own. Plan to come to this workshop! It will
be a day to be experienced and enjoyed. Such a great deal at only $53,
including taxes!

Don’t miss the Gallery of BC Ceramics opening of the Canadian
Clay Symposium Presenters’ show, Thursday, March 22, from 6 p.m.
to 8 p.m. Some of the presenters will be at the opening, so seize yet
another opportunity to experience their fabulous work.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on March 24 and 25! Ga)
