In comparison, the others were like painted women - beautiful to look
at, but in which some fundamental characteristic is lacking. Perhaps
this is why the jurors chose these rather than those which are more
generally representative of the type made by so many Canadian
potters. It would be difficult to imitate these, for they possess a
timeless quality which almost defies imitation. We would venture to
say that they could be dug up by an archaeologist in any age or time
and still be considered excellent potting.

Frances Hatfield of Vernon and David Peters of Seattle will be
associated with the Schwenk Pottery from May Ist. We all extend a
warm welcome to you to visit us at the studio home of Mr. Schwenk,
Lower Bench Rd., Penticton. Summer hours 10 - 9 daily.

Indians of the Okanagan and Williams Lake regions have just com-
pleted a two-week pottery workshop with Z. Kujundzic of Kelowna.
Students learned handbuilding techniques and took part in building a
simple kiln suited to reproduction at their home locations. A grant
from the Koerner Foundation financed the course.

Slides of pottery, pots, notes of exhibitions and potting procedures
and memories of visits with over sixty potters and studios throughout
Europe, crowd the Schwenk Studio in Penticton this spring as Adolph
Schwenk returns to vigorous potting after seven months travel on his
Canada Council Scholarship.

Twenty-five students in Kelowna and a similar number in Vernon
have concluded winter pottery classes with Frances Hatfield,
stirring a new degree of interest in ceramics in the Okanagan.
