BRITISH COLUMBIA GUILD OF POTTERS
315 W. Cordova
Vancouver

February 1974

Greetings!

Ever thought of reducing in an electric kiln? Ever
wondered about opening a pottery school in your basement? Come
and hear Gabrielle Alfred, who has done both of these things,
among many others. She has no slides, so will bring a few pots
in the flesh for us to see. So plan to be at the next Guild
meeting, Thursday February 21st, at 8 pem. at the Maritime
Museum.

Ceramics '74 cancelled. Why? The executive felt the
membership would not want the show 2 years in a Tow. Such an
exhibition is very expensive, our budget is very small, also,
suitable Galleries seemed to be booked far ahead. Work is being
done now to find a place for Ceramics '75.

WORKSHOPS:

All sorts of interesting programmes and workshops are
in the air. Gne that is down on earth right now is:

A slide show and lecture by Jack Legatt from Nigeria
on Nigerian Pottery at & p.m. on Friday, March the 29th - keep
that date ready. Place and fee will be in the next newsletter.

The Katherine Dodd workshop on General Workshop
Techniques has been postponed to a later date. Look out for it.

REMEMBER:

Please bring all Library books to the General Meeting
ar return to Librarian if you can't make it. Too many books are
being kept too long - if this continues we will have to start a
policy of putting the names of borrowers in the newsletter as a
reminder.

DON'T FORGET:
send us your ideas and suggestions about the “Western

Potter".

It's that time again! Soon for a new executive. All
nominations (even volunteers) are welcome, the more, the ssoner,
the better.
