NORTHWEST CERAMICS FOUNDATION
Sponsoring Suzanne Greenaway and continued fund raising

The Northwest Ceramics Foundation is busy finding ways to disperse funds recently
raised at the From the Oven and Kiln event in October 1999. We are sponsoring
Suzanne Greenaway to come to Vancouver and give a lecture at the Canadian Clay
Symposium. Contributing to such 2 signifpeant educational event and banging ceramic
artists together is important to the Foundation,

Due to the success we expenenced last year, the WWCP has decided to continue our
partnership with the Adult Learning Development Association (ALDA) for this fall's
From the Oven and Kiln dinner. Hopefully we will be able to repeat or better last year’s
fund raising record.

Regretlully the Odd Fellows Society declined our application to purchase Made of Clay
books from the Potters Guild, but we are currently looking for other ways to support the
book project.

Also a reminder that WN WCF encourages anyone Who needs funding to attend a ceramics
workshop or lecture to apply for the Maureen Wright Scholarship. This fund disperses
grants up to $200; applications are accepted anytime. Please contact the Potters Guild for
details.

MADE OF CLAY
allocation of space finalized, only three spaces left

The draw for booth and island allocation for our Made of Clay show occurred February
14, Atthe time of writing, there are three spaces available. For further information please
refer to the application forms and my articles in the January and February newsletters.
You can also contact Jane Matthews or me. Our numbers are listed on the back page of
this newsletter,

It is encouraging that so many of the prior exhibitors have registered. One half of the
applications for booths are from last year’s participants. This indicwtes the success of
Made of Clay, not only in terms of generating sales dunng the event but also continued
benefits accruing from the increased exposure.

Notice of booth and island allocations will be mailed to all applicants within the next few
weeks as well as detailed information on setup times, show lours, helpful hints on
matenals, parking, credit card transactions and other relevant information.

Weare pleased that the Fraser Valley Potters Guild will once again demonstrate throwing
and trimming as well as generally providing information to the public. Combine that with
the You Too Can Raku event, a major draw and crowd pleaser as well as revenue
proxtucer for the Chuild, and it is easy to see that this is a major event for Granville Island.
Once again, we request volunteers for our information table in the Market during the full
week of this event. See page 8 and 9 for more details.
