WALTER DEXTER, RAKU opens in the Gallery March 3rd and all Guild members are
Invited at 7:30 p.m. The show runs to March I7?th. Walter Dexter says of his
raku work, "I have found over the years that the mechanical process of
throwing sometimes enables me to reach a free state of mind but I now find the
concentration required for the decorating and firing of Raku a more stimulating
and lively method of reaching the goal towarcs which I am directed. Here there
1s andless variety and the unexpected, The subtilitdes, colour, the richness
of surface and the unpredictability of techniques give me great pleasure."

PUBLICITY: CKVU television news gave the Gallery excellent coverage to the
Ceramics Erotica show and there was a six minute interview with Jim Thornsodury
on Channel 10. We would like to find someone with the knowledge of transferring
material from one video tape to another so that we would have a video tape

record for our library.
