TOZAN: continued from pir 2
underway. The Nanaimo Arts Council is really behind
this project as well and their expertise and diligence is
greatly appreciated, Environmental permits have been
paid for and approved and the certificate ts forthcoming,
When they assessed the plans for the kiln they felt there
would be fewer smoke emissions than would normally
come from a backyard bonfire. We will be able to have
up to six firings per year. Any individual member or
Guild membership will have access to this kiln.
individual memberships are $10 per year and Guild
memberships are $100 per year, A "Buy a Brick"
campaign for $5 is underway and if you would like to buy
or sell some “brick" tickets please contact Maureen
Beardsley at 245-4867.

The major work task that is next is to do with
BRICKS, Crane has generously donated all the bricks
from their 250 ft long car kiln. We hope to be dismantling
the kiln in May and we need lots of help for this. Please
cal! me at 929-9175 if you want te help. Also let me
know if you can billet people helping. We also need a
second forklift or pallet jack.

The cooperation and positive energy that this project
is generating makes it an endeavour not to be missed. |
hope you will become a participant in building this Tozan
kiln. only the third of its kind in the world.
