Symposium: Concurrent Events & Exhibitions COME ONE, COME ALL to a dinner feast! Lunch with the President Do you represent a group of potters in your area of British Columba? Are you attending the Canadian Clay Symposium in Burnaby on March 23? If you answer ‘yes’ to both of these questions, I am inviting you to sit down to a special lunch. Let’s have a chat about how, as representatives, we can work together to benefit our own area members, as well as potters throughout the province. Come and put forward ideas on how the Potters Guild of BC can do a better job of representing potters throughout the province given the issue of geography. I will be at the registration desk in the morning. All you have to do is identify yourself at that time and we will give you further information on when and where. Looking forward to meeting you Denise Jeffrey, President, PGBC Ceramic Marks Registry ATTENTION: Symposium Participants Hello participants! The PGBC is. still collecting marks for the BC Ceramic Mark Registry, (BCCMR) which will be online in 2014. If you have already given us your mark and biographical information, thank you, we will still have your information on file. If you drew your mark, you may wish to update it by taking a digital photograph of it. Before you come to the symposium, if we do not already have your mark(s), please take a digital image of your mark(s). Clarity is critical! Suggested size 1280 x 960 pixels and 300 dpi. You can bring your CD and fil out the bio info at the Potters Guild of BC desk at the symposium. Many of you collect pottery, and we all have those pots made by “The Unknown Potter’. In our newsletter Dave Carlin already hosts a column with images of anonymous marks, and we are getting a great response with suggestions about the makers. We are VERY interested in historic marks — both known and unknown. If you have any in your collection, please take some digital images of the piece and the mark, along with any information about the potter or when and when you found the pot — any history that you may have. In time, many of these potters will become known, which is the whole point of this project — recognizing B.C. potters. Thanks from the BCCMR Committee. Only 35 tickets left! Deadline: March 15. Hosted by the PGBC immediately following events at The Canadian Clay Symposium: Elementum: Form, Function, Feast.
