LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor: In the last issue of the "Wester Potter" we feel
that the impression was given that our group had just started to
use local materials with Frances Hatfield at her workshop with
us this spring.

This impression is not a true one, we must give credit to Zeljko
Kujundzic, who started us off by finding a local clay seam at his
workshop and giving us a recipe using this clay in the glaze.

Then, too, our own B,C, Guild of Potters sponsored a 10-day
workshop here in 1969, when Jack Wells, Req Dixon, Charmian
Johnson and Brian Johnstad, assisted by Ellin Chamberlain
continued the work of testing local clays.

In 1970 Jan Grove gave us an excellent workshop in glazing.

We would like to acknowledge the work these fine potters have
done with us on using local materials. They gave us the back-
ground to make our workshop with Frances so successful.

May we congratulate you on your last issue of the "Western
Potter". It is one of the best yet. The article by Jean Marie
Weakland will prove most helpful to us. We are planning to
make her suggestions the basis of our monthly work programmes
next winter.
Yours truly,

Ruth Flower,

Publicity Chairman,

Cariboo Potters’ Guild,

Box 5000, Williams Lake.
