Sunday started a little later than the previous day. The

format was the same for both sessions. By the afternoon,
however, everyone seemed to be fatigued and perhaps the afternoon
could have been cut short. There was 4 lot of material covered
on both days. On both days the Keynote speakers provided

lively and informative topics, as well as a good deal of

humour.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who
participated in the conference. Without their statements, we
would not have left the college feeling as though something
useful had taken place. I want to thank Emily Carr College of
Art and Design for providing the facilities for this event.

Comments I have received from people in attendance has been
positive. Most feel that this has been useful and another should
be considered in the future of Guild activities. Matthew Kangas,
keynote speaker and art critic from Seattle was most supportive
of the work that he saw in the Gallery and recommended that we
become more active.in the ceramic Spectrum of the NorthWest. He
liked what he saws and encouraged the Guild to de more of thea
same. Don Lindsay from the Cultural Services Branch of the B.C,
Government, was also in attendance. He, too, Was supportive of what
the Guild was deing and encouraged us to do more.

In closing, I want to say that the conference was a success!
There was opposition to putting on something of this nature,

but, in order for West Coast Ceramics to come to the forefront of
what is happening in the ceramic world, the Guild has to be bold
enough to take on these projects and make it happen! Let the
rest of Canada know that we do exist out here on the West Coast
and that there are good things happening in ceramics here. Tf
nope that this conference establishes a precedent. We need the

stimulation. To everyone who supported me, I thank them.
