Kimeba Leaves the Gallery February 22

It is with a heavy heart that I leave the
Gallery of BC Ceramics, It has been an
incredible experience for me working
among euch talent, and with such commit-
led staff and volunteers. | would like to
thank the extraordinary Gallery Commit-
tee: Jinny Whitehead, Pia Sillem, Sheila
Monssette, Celia Rice-Jones and Maggi
Kneer, for their hours of hard work and
their constant belicf in both the Gallery
and myself, Thanks also to Lynn Graham,
our dedicated volunteer who willingly puts
up with chaos, and has painted more plinths
than any one should ever have to. | would
also like to blow a kiss to Rachelle
Chinnery, who has consistently listened
and on whose passion we could all warn
our hands. The Guild is blessed to have
such a devated group of volunteers.

I would especially like to thank my staff,
who are the backbone of the Gallery, and
often the Guild. Thank vou Anes Chung,

only the best assistinmt manager anyone
could dream up, but also a friend. And
Sheryl Wilson — you creative genius bub-
bling with ideas — always so welcoming
to potters whe stop in with technical qwes-
hans, or quenes about classes, Your en-
thusiasm is unbelievable. | will truly miss
you both. Last, but definitely not least.
Kirsten Chursinoff, Your commitment to
craft is a prize to our potters: your calm
way and kind manner have kept me on an
even keel more than once. It has been én
honour to work with you.

I would also like to thank the new mum,
Jane Matthews, who went out of her way
to help me get acquainted at the Gallery,
and who continued to support me through
difficult times. | will deeply miss every-
one and [thank you all for making my time
in the Gallery so rich.
