MADE IN CLAY
Spring Sale (April 29, 20. May J) Update

The January 13th meeting pot off to an interesting
start. Derek from Security at CMHC on Granville
Island forgot to come to open Performance Works
and let us in. We all adapted and had the meeting in
the gallery. A real bonus was Kaoru’s husband,
David Coates and his partner Rod Roodenburg, from
lon Design Inc. came and showed us some of the
fabulous advertising work they have done and are
willing to do for us. Their artistic talent and artist
budget sense will help us achieve a great look for
our advertising - and is much appreciated.

Remember, if anyone has space to billet someone
from out-of-town phone Elsa ($26-1221) and let her
know. She also needs to hear from any participants
from out-of-town that want to be billeted,

ArtQuake is the Street Festival happening on
Granville Island March 12 and 13th. We will be
doing a Raku fund raiser as part of the event to help
raise money for the sale (we hope to fund banners
with the proceeds). Everyone has been notified
about this event and aware they need to drop off
10 - 20 pots at the Gallery to be stored upstairs in
the office by the end of February. Lewis
Krzycezkowski is coordinating the Raku, and he is
still looking for a few more volunteers - so whether
you are in the sale or not and would like to
participate, give him a call at 986-4920 he'd
appreciate the help. [f you have any old quilts or
sleeping bags to donate, please drop them off with
your pots. And thanks everyone,

Is anyone a certified electrician or related to one?
If you are, please let me know (Cathi 929-9175) as
we anticipate the need to call on such a person and
we can pay too! Its an interesting experience doing
something like Made in Clay for the first time as
you're never quite sure exactly what you need but
try to be prepared for everything.

Once the advertising is ready, it will need to be
distributed. Everyone will need to participate in
distributing posters/flyers in their area. If you have a
line on extra good locations we'd love to hear about
them. Publicity in your local newspaper would be
very helpful. We will also have a posteard/direct
mailer of some kind as well and will need to know
how many you will need.

Everyone's enthusiasm and willingness to chip in
and help out has been super - preparations are really
moving along. Talk to you next month...
