WORESHOP REVIEWS. aa+

Thanks to Vincemt Massey for a very successful claze workshop at the Burnaby Art
Cantre on January 16th. [t's always a pleasure to watch someone so in tune with

their materials.

Vincent had a very useful article , ‘Caramic Toxicology-the Hature of the Hazards",
which deals with the toxicity of chemicals in their various states, ie., raw,
whilst firing, and on a finished piece. If you would like a copy, please send a
legqal-sited (#10), stamped (.43) and self-addressed envelope to ay attention at the
Guild, and I will send you a copy.
