THE WEST POINT GREY POTTERS' CLUB

Once a month the potters' club meets in the pottery studio of
the West Point Grey Community centre, located a few blocks from Locarno
Beach at 2nd and Trimble, in Vancouver. We usually have a program at
this meeting, next month features Martha Melling, demonstrating her
decoration techniques, and the "Sunflower" people showing their flame-
ware .

We have workshops every few months; in January Bob Kingsmill
taught us how to build wall murals.

Many of the clubs 50 members do most of their potting in the
studio which used to be the garage or coach house of the beautiful
estate. In the studio are 12 wheels, three electric kilns and numerous
vats of glazes, all of which are used communally by the club and
students, though a club committee handles the firing.

we are fortunate to be able to hold our two major events each year
in the beautiful main residence 'Aberthau'. There we have our pottery
exhibition, sale and tea before Christmas and Mothers' Day.

NEW POTTERY CLUB

Dunbar Community Centre has recently established a Pottery Club
to pravide generous open studio time for Vancouver residents with
some previous experience in pottery. The Club offers members the
opportunity to further develop their skills, while working in the
stimulating company of other potters. Workshops, group exhibitions,
pottery sales, and slide shows will all be planned as activities in
which the members can fully participate.

The Studio Manager, Sheila Lindfield, is available each week for
consultation and technical assistance. The airy facilities can
accommodate both handbuilding and wheel-throwing.

The membership fée is $14 a month, which includes the cost of
glazing and firing. Clay is purchased separately. The studio is open
each week throughout the calendar year. New members are welcome.
