PROGRAMS/WORKSHOPS

We had a very enjoyable meeting this
month. Fredi Rahn demonstrated the
making of a slab built teapot. After her
demonstration she showed slides and
discussed the development of her works.
About 20 people attended.

We would very much like some inpul
fram those of you who do not come to
meetings - if you have any suggestions
of what you would like discussed or of
demonstrations you would like tosee, or
ifyou would prefer another evening - e.g.

also be Interested In any people you

We are planning to videotape as many
workshops and demonstrations as pos-
sible so that they can be shared by
people out of town. Jim Jorgenson has
kindly volunteered to do this, starting
with the April demonstration by Fredi
Rahn. When the tapes are available a
notice will be placed in the newaletter.
