Having exhausted my talents after twelve years of teaching, I
gave it up a year ago. Besides, I had found out about pottery:
prehistoric, ancient historic, naive, almost crude-looking,
good shapes, too good to be the result of thoughtless accident;
modern Bernard Leach pottery, intelligent, sophisticated,
elegant; Hamada pots, less intelligent but more emotional;
Lucie Rie pots, delicate, shell-like; John Reeves' and some
of the local potters' work, very emotional, sensual pottery,
having the simplicity of very complicated things.

I entered the world of pottery in a somnolent condition brought
on early by the atmosphere of the sheeptown I was born in and
the perennial need for more credits for a university degree. I
have been looking about me for the last two years and I find I
want to stay.

substantially reduced rates.

planned to incorporate a stop-over of three days in Montreal on the
return flight for a visit to EXPO 67. The return air-fare on a DC 8

As a member organization of the CAC, you are entitled to have two of
your own members travel on the flight as your representatives and thus
