AS you may know, Design Vancouver [a non-profit
organization) is once again sponsoring “Design Week”
in February 1990 to promote public awareness of
design in all the arts. We participated last year with
amug show. I have made a proposal to the Board's
Gallery Committee that the Guild become more deeply
involved by having a juried show with a thematic
focus. Publicity, always good for the Gallery and for
the potters, will be handled by Design Vancouver at no
cost to the Guild. The theme of “dinner settings” is
being considered. Keep reading your Newsletter for
