President’s Message

I had a great time at the Kelowna Clay
Festival listening and watching the pre-
senters and meeting and chatting to
many other participants. The Rotary
Centre of the Arts is a wonderful loca-
tion for such an event. Thanks to the
organizers for putting it all together!

October is usually an active month for
potters. While many of you are busy
preparing for the seasonal sales at the
end of the year, don’t forget that there
are other events taking place around the
province that shouldn’t be missed. For
those of you visiting or living in and
around the Lower Mainland, I hope you
have marked your calendars for the Ruth
Chambers Lecture. This event will take

place in the auditorium of ECIAD on
Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m. After the lecture,
participants will have a chance to talk to
Ruth at a reception at the Gallery of BC
Ceramics.

Northern residents can visit “BC in a
Box” which will be displayed in the
Station House Gallery in Williams Lake.
Opening Oct. 7th the exhibit can be
viewed until Oct. 29th. And on the
Sunshine Coast, the Gibsons Public Art
Gallery presents “Artistry in Clay” from
Sept. 21st to Oct. 30th.

Spread the word!

We are looking for a volunteer to create a database of institu-
tions across Canada which have ceramics departments. You
don’ have to live in the lower mainland for this task, but you do
need access to a computer. Please contact me if you think you
can donate a little bit of your time. Thanks.
