and charm of this individual was engulfing. I had imagined several
days of establishing new communications with Harry would be
required. How pleasantly wrong [ was. Within minutes Harry had
reached us and we relaxed as old friends might. The mood was set
and the students eager - so we began.

The course outline was discussed, weighed, and tasks assigned. Time
was spent covering sources and origins of materials, methods of
accumulating and processing materials and of course, varied applica-
tions of materials available. Guild members produced some 95
different materials, including rock, shale, clay and mine tailings to
ashes plus a few things that defied analysis, After testing and
experimenting was done on the samples the results were evaluated,
with Harry adding suggestions as he saw fit. It should be pointed

out that Harry was an almost inexhaustible source of information,

yet he made great efforts to have the individual arrive at his own
conclusions, His concern was that everyone share in the learning
experience. He had us relating the materials and methods to
ourselves,

swapping of information was inevitable. The workshop maintained a
warm attitude of activity throughout. Harry had guided us through
the month, gently pushing here or encouraging words there, to
fruitful conclusions for our efforts. The job was complete. Harry
left for England at the end of June and we scurried home, heads and
notebooks full, to apply our new-found techniques.

I look forward to the work coming from our members in the next few
months. Harry did more than show us techniques; he generated
Spirit and attitudes that will help us become better people and better
potters.

P,5. Many people as well as Harry worked hard to make this work-
shop a success. As a member I wish to extend my personal thanks to
Jack Wells, Marjo Van Tooren and Avery Huyghe for jobs well done.
A particular 'thank you' to Tam Irving whose energy, enthusiasm and
generosity were only exceeded by Mr. Davis's.
