CERAMICS 82

ROBSON SQUARE MEDIA CENTRE. JULY 19 = 30,

Opening night of this years exhibition brought out a crowd
of about 250 people who enjoyed the punch and generally
seemed to enjoy the evening. I heard many different comments
but personally think the exhibition worked well ,especially
in terms of balance with the ‘gallery shop which allowed
visitors to get more aquainted with individuals work. Anne
McDonald did a delightful job presenting the awards, keeping
things light and humourous.

The exhibition drew approximately 200 people a day for its
duration. Many of those viewers were from out of town, out of
province, or out of the country. In fact a lot of positive
comments were made by visiting Americans and Europeans, many
of whom bought catalogues to take home. This is all good,

for it exposes our ceramic artists to a much wider range of
people than ever before, and at the same time is building the
reputation and credibility of the Guild.

Once again, thanks to all of you who helped organize and
present this exhibition; to all of you who exhibited; and finally
to all who came out to support this annual Guild event.

The award winners were; domestic category - Ist, Andrew Wong,
end, Cherie Markiewicz, 3rd, Hiro Urakami; decorative category -
Ist, Susan Delatour Le Poidevin, 2nd, Debra Sloan, 3rd, Andrew
Wong. - Congratulations:
