LATTICE STRUCTURES

CRYSTALLINE SYMPOSIUM REVISITED!

Following the Lattice Structures event held in Kansas City last fall, a
few of the presenters decided that it would be great to get this group of
crystalline potters back together again soon. Almost immediately, they
began organizing a more intimate working session at Kris Friedrich’s
state-of-the-art studio in Palm Desert for early May. The notion was to
keep the group smaller, and bring Peter Ilsley back from England for
another visit to lead a glazing workshop. Kris asked Peter to describe
his dream workshop. Peter replied: “I said it would be five days with
no more than twenty competent crystalline potters and lots of firing
availability plus a kiln for post-firing reduction.”

As it turned out, Kris granted those wishes and a great deal more. As
the planning continued, the event evolved from workshop into Share-
Fest with so many of the Lattice Structures presenters and leading
crystalline potters signed on to attend. Spending five days glazing and
firing alongside Dianne Creber, Ginny Conrow, John Tilton, Jesse Hull,
Bill Campbell, Kris and Peter, to name just a few, in a setting like Kris’
was afl experience we will all long remember! I was thrilled to have

been invited.

Ive not met a fellow more expansive in his generosity
than Kris Friedrich — he had treats lined up for us all
week starting with an opening night welcome dinner at
his lovely home. Back at the studio, we glazed a mountain
of pots, firing a 45-cubic-foot gas kiln plus one or two
electric kilns and one or two post-fire reductions 1n the
