Saki Flask - Paul Davis

President's Corner

Thanks to those who have sent in
their submission for BC in a Box.
This miniature exhibit will be travel-
ling to several galleries around the
province and will be a good chance
to expose your work to a broad audi-
ence. It may even go further afield
next year. If you have just said "Oh
no! I've missed the deadline!" You
could very, very quickly contact
Karen Opas (volunteers@aloy-
ingspoonful.org) to tell her some-
thing is on the way, and get your
work to the gallery by February 20th.
The bigger the show the better!

I hope I'll be seeing lots of members
on Friday, February 11th. Why? You

may ask yourselves. Well, no one will
want to miss the free slide presenta-
tion by visiting Australian potter Paul
Davis, sponsored by the Northwest
Ceramics Foundation. It takes place
at 7pm in room 328 at Emily Carr.
Learn about Paul's seductive porce-
lain ware, his six years in Japan and
his one-of-a-kind wood fired work.
After his presentation you can come
over to the Gallery of BC ceramics
for some refreshments, talk to Paul
and see a selection of his work that
will be displayed there. See you
there!

Gallery Manager’s Report

son. Thank you to all members who
facilitated staff by following drop-off

In both 2001 and 2003,
Burnaby's Food First Committee
ran two very successful events, a
"Bowl Throwing" competiton
(featuring many top B.C.
Potters), and a fundraising
"Gala" evening. Through these
efforts, approximately
$20,000.00 was raised each time,
to help alleviate hunger for the
youth in Burnaby. This year, on
Sunday, March 20th, the
Shadbolt Centre for the Arts will
once again be hosting the compe-
tition and many well-known pot-
ters are already on board to help:
Vincent Massey, Bob Kingsmill,
