Guild Library Update

Last month I opened up the Library with a simple
on-trust sign-out and featured our latest acquisition,
Australian Woodfiring by Steve Harrison, a gift from Paul
Davis. This month I grabbed Art of the Contemporary Potter
by Tony Birks. We have two copies. When I discovered
clay in the mid 70s this was one of the seminal books for
me. There wasn’t the plethora of ceramics books around
then that there are now.

It included an introduction to Lucie Rie and
Hans Coper, the latter an enormous influence. Ruth
Duckworth 1s there, still huge in my pantheon, Gordon
Baldwin too. Looking through it again, I am reminded
of my earliest slab vases, from when I first started my
self-taught fumbling towards my own voice. They were
self-conscious copies of Ian Auld’s pots. There is so
much of my beginnings in this book and thumbing the
pages it is with a new eye and a new appreciation of what
these people were doing 30 years ago.

You can now check out what we have in the library
by going to the website where Don Jung has put the
data online. It 1s in the members only section. We are
still hoping for a volunteer to take over from my initial
efforts to expand how we can use the resource of our
library, especially for out of town members. Please call

me or Jinny. Keith Rice-Jones
