Harry Davis Workshop a Huge Success

Mr. Davis was able to provide so much information that we have

listed details in a special report which will be issued separately.

Considerable interest was shown in the photographs taken by Eric
Marsden and we plan to continue this practice in future.

We should count ourselves fortunate to have been able to attend the
three-day seminar. Too often we are confronted by professional
craft teachers with somewhat sketchy experience in practical
application, By contrast, Mr. Davis was embarking on his first
educational assignment after many years as a production potter,
initially in England and latterly in New Zealand. Interestingly
enough, the seminar proved as revealing for Mr. Davis as it did for
those who attended. On the one hand he learnt about the handicaps
under which the amateur potter operates, while on the other we dis-
covered ways of correcting them. The two-way exchange was a
refreshing and vital experience.

Pots Wanted !

Mr. Arran Stephens has recently opened the East-West Gallery,
1548 Marine Drive, West Vancouver, tel: 926-1451. He would be

pleased to hear from any potters wishing to exhibit work.
