Fall Greetings

The prospect of returning to the ranks of the "living potter"
rather excites me, as it will be somewhat of a challenge to be.
dealing with the pots of Wayne Ngan and Sam Kuan after several
years studing Yung-lo or Wan-li! Thank you for the opportunity.

The Potter's Guild has now come of age, and this has been rather
forcefully brought to us this season with the passing of its
"Mother", Olea Davis. I believe we need to consider our direction
for the next years with some more permament goals. You have

lected a competent group to represent you on the board. What we
need now is more thoughtfull input from our members throughout the
province. Then, hopefully, through greater correspondence, we can
establish the relationships necessary for a better sharing of
resources and talents.
