From the Oven and Kiln 2000

From the Oven and Kiln is the major
funcdnuser for the Foundation. We support
education in ceramics chiefly by provid-
ing scholarships to students and by belp-
ing to fund educational projects. It is only
through donations of plates and silent awe-
tion items that We can create this event.

Once again, We are pulling oul a request
for the donatvon of plates and items to put
in a silent auction. The plates should be
approximately dinner-stred, but they can
be made any style. We will gratefully
accept all, Tax deductible receipts will be
issued on request by the potter, The silent
auction goods can be anything preferably
valued at about $100). They can be a clay
piece; a box of chocolates: a day cruise or
a couple of concert tickets. The most in-
Inguing things create tadding frenzies at
silent auchons. We rely on this auction to
provide the majority of our funds.

Free workshops will again be offered. This
