never done before. Even if you give
workshops take a workshop from

someone else.

L- Where do you go for solutions?

G —I talk to other potters, use

the network of the potters I know.
‘There is a depth of knowledge in
our area. I don’t really use the web
for information sources. I would
rather call Sam Kwan, a teacher at
Capilano College or talk to D’Arcy
Margesson.

L- What is your definition of success?
G — Being able to move the goal
posts, always redefining yourself. I
like pieces that are beautifully finished, show fine craftsmanship and that are
just beautifully made. When you see or pick up a piece and you say I wish I
had made that, the piece is successful. As Bill Reid said, “Joy is a well-made
object.”

L- What frustrates you?
G- Not being able to do as much as I would like to do, there is not enough
time to follow up on all the ideas that inspire me.

L- What is your favorite tool?
G — A bamboo collar-turner sewing
tool.

L-Is there anything else you would like
to say?

G —I still find pottery fulfilling; I
made it to where I want to be and
there are still many more things

I want to do. Opening the kiln is
always enchanting. Oh, one last
thing: photograph your work. Then
you know what you have done,

[and] it is often helpful to look back

and see where you came from.
