Letter from Edmonton Potters' Guild, Box 5641, Station "L",
Edmonton, Alberta, March 1967.

"To Whom It May Concern,
We write on behalf of this organization which secks a well

qualified instructor for September, 1967.

We comprise some 75 active members, about 35 of whom are
Advanced Potters, some having their own workshop, and there
will be a few beginners. Many of the Advanced Potters have
been working for twelve or more years under instructors in-~
cluding Sybyl Laubental, Helen McKenzie, Walter Dexter,
Wilma Baker, Carl Sande and Jan VanAldervegan (Askey),

all of whom are well known in the ceramic world.

We run five classes of four hours, two evening, two after-
noon and one morning, from September to June, for a total
of 34 classes. However this is subject to change should the
executive deem it necessary. We offer the instructor full
use of our excellent workshop and provide free use of
materials, clay, glazes and full use of equipment.

There are several excellent outlets in the city, commissions
are available and lectures to public organizations make the
possibility of augmenting the salary excellent. The only
stipulation governing the instructor's use of Guild equipment

is that firings for the Guild must be kept up to date, at least
one firing per week in each kiln and if necessary more. We
have a well-equipped studio, consisting of four rooms, one
large workroom, a glaze room, glaze preparation room and a
large storage room. There are two large kilns, one electric
and one gas, both recently overhauled, There are thirteen
kick-wheels and one electric wheel, several work tables, two
wedging tables, two sinks, display cupboards, washing machine
for mixing clay, library, lockers for each student, damp cup-
boards, drying cupboards, carts, test kiln, spray machine, and
all necessary equipment for the operation of a Pot Shop.

We pay a twelve-month salary which includes one month's

holiday. The basic salary is at present $3, 600 a year plus

$100 per year for each year with the Guild. The salary is

under study at the present time and some thought is being given
