GALLERY REPORT

We are now heading into our busy sea-
son.on Granville Island, ard it is time to
do some spring cleaning in the Gallery.
Iwill be contacting Gallery artists about.
removing work that has been im the
Gallery more than six months, and re-
placing it with new.

We would like to remind Gallery artists
to PLEASE TELEPHONE us before
coming in with new work. Unannounced

with, especially when the Gallery is filled
with people.

labelled and priced accurately is neces-
sary, and this takes tne.

FEATURE

Nathan Rafla’s recent show [5 a sensi-
live tribute to his father. Baskets for my
Father's Bedside is a change from the
earthenware pots with majolica glazes
and painterly surfaces we are familiar
with to an exploration of porcelain with
celadon and tenmouku glazes. The larger
works are soft flowing bowls balanced
an incised pedestals and then glazed.
The smaller basket surface treatments
vary from inclaed walls to sensual curved.
bowls, all with handles that have been
pulled and twisted to complete the bas-
ket form.

Showing in the Gallery until May 20 is
New Work by Mary Daniel. Daniel's
pleces are delicate slab built vessels,
wall pleces and platters, low-fired with
slips and lustres. The pastel colours
make the feeling light. airy and up-

lifting.
