HYCROFT: Applications are pouring in!! It is very gratifying to get such a res-
ponce after letting you down last year. Besides everyone selling lots of pots,
and the boost to the Guild's bank account, it is really great to see all those
potters together. The people at Hycroft are very happy to have us back again

and we are very happy to be there. Bring only your good pots - no seconds please.
Make sure your vases, mugs, jugs, tea pots, etc. hold water and smooth those
scratchy bottoms. As Harry Davis said: ''Respect the other craftsman, expecially
the French polisher."

If you've missed Hiro at the House of Ceramics these past few months it is

'.. because he has been making pots day and night for his show, with Muriel Parfitt,

opening at his gallery at 7:30 p.m. on October 6th. Hiro is leaving shortly after
for a well earned holiday. Following this show comes one by Wayne Ngan and later
on Marjory Johnston will show her pottery there. Hiro keeps a constant flow of
interesting shows through his gallery and has made a very significant contribution
to our community. Many thanks Hiro and happy holidays.

The Huyghe Pottery at 4430 West 10th Ave., in Vancouver has a studio space avail
able from October 1st. Please shone Michael at 228-0123.
