Canadian Clay Symposium: Diversity in Clay The second biennial Canadian Clay Sym- posium is sold gut! Thank you everyone for your support. I'd like to take this op- portunity to remind everyone about the Mug Wall and the Ceramic Road show events. Please remember to bring a piece to be exhibited in the Ceramic Roadshow, Your favourite pot, ugliest, newest, oldest — it doesn’t matter as long as you bring a piece for everyone to enjoy. This was a great show at the first symposium. The expertise of ceramic artist, Clary Milian, has given us the idea to have a CRITIQUE with Clary inthe Ceramic Roadshow cxhi- bition room for her 1:00 - 2:15PM session. What a grea! oppartunity to have a piece of your work critiqued. Can hardly wait to see the gems that will be the Canadian Clay Symposium's second biennial Ce- ramic Roadshow — this show is as good as we make it, so let's continue the tredi- tion and make it great. Also, don’t forget to bring mug or mugs to donate for the Mug Wall. Your mugs will help to raise money for the North-West Ceramic Foundation educational grant fund. This fund provides financial oppor- tunities for all clay artists to support their interests in furthering their education. It's a Valuable resource for us all, At $13 fora mug, it's a great deal!
