Canadian Clay Symposium Update

This is the time of year Symposium news starts to appear for
the upcoming March event. We'd like you to know that we are
moving to a triennial rotation, so the next Canadian Clay
Symposium will be March 24, 2007. It’s already in the planning
stages and we have a number of very interesting presenters
already lined up. So let your fellow potters and other guild
members know that we will be back in one more year and we
hope to see you all at the Shadbolt Centre in 2007!

Time For Change

The Guild’s website provides a tremendous resource to
the Guild membership. Members can use the site as an
information source about Guild activities. The site
provides resources so that Members can apply for
shows or to present work in the Guild’s gallery. The
site provides a munication medium among Guild
members through the forum and discussion board.
The calendar provides a very powerful organizing tool.

And yet ... and yet... maybe the site could be
more useful. We'd like to hear from you. What
resources could we add to the site?. How could our
presentation be improved?

Artist Statement

PANORAMA

Take a look around

Beginning with a circle, a round bowl, fresco-
like images of town and city dwellings move in
toward the center. The many pointed roof tops
join to create a star. Look up through the
rooftops and gaze into a blue sky or a starry
night or are you staring down into the center
of a flower? City life and wild life come into
focus while points of view multiply and blur.
Movement is created.

Balance is in play.
