area of the spout. The crumbs on the inside of the holes
are usually cleaned off after bisquing, when they can be
knocked away easily with a metal tool, such a5 a screw-

driver. A coiled loop is added to the inside cf the lid,

for easy attachment of a tea-ball or bag. [OO 1

And lastly, the secret of the non-drip pitcher: a small
hole is made about 4" away from the edge of the spout,
with a pin tool, and a channel about 1" long grooved down
into the pot. Watch that the hole doesn't fill up whilst
glazing.

Although guaranteed foolproof, the Marshes have found that
this innovation requires so much explanation to proepective
customers that it has been discontinued.

Maybe the underlying lesson of the weekend was that there

is no one right way to make a pot. It's the total feeling
of the pot that counts. To quote Tom, "when all else fails,
express yourself".

Tom is the Head of the Ceramics Department of the University
of Louisville. Ginni also teaches there. This was more
than a pottery workshop, it was a glimpse at a whole way of
life. We thank them for coming all this way to share it
with us.

Many thanks to Estrin Manufacturing Ltd. for their con-
tinuing generous donations of clay to our workshops,

Also we thank Don Hutchinson for his invaluable contribution
to the Guild in making Langara College available to us for

our workshops. Maureen Breckon.
