GALLERY = eat, |

April has proved a good month for the Gallery. Sales are well up on March
and noticably better than the same period last year. It is proving a useful
teaching gallery, potters, students and the public spend time studying the
exhibitions and pottery displays. Opening nights are well attended and
thanks go to Cherie Markiewicz for arranging interesting shows.

To make the most of limited “shop space" the displays are changed regularly
to give gallery potters equal coverage. There is now a Selection Committee,
call or come into the Gallery for a list of instructions, you must be a
member of the Guild. New potters are David Walmsley and Meg Buckley.

Guild members not selling in the Gallery may send a set of 3 slides with a
biography for the résource registry.

The Board has resolved that ootters selling in the Gallery must be paid
up mempers oF the Potters Guild of B.C., so of your work is not on display
get out vour cheque book, please!

The Public Market commences summer hours on May 25 so from then on the Gallery
will be open seven days a week, 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. until) Labour Day
weekend. Qpen also on Monday, May 18.
