Web Site Changes

The web site has been updated and changed froma Publisher program to Dreamweaver, which makes changes and updates infi- nitely easier and much faster. One major change to the site is that the Artists’ List- ings has been put aside for the time being.

I'm unable to donate the time if takes to solicit participation and set up pages for members. However, if potters have their own website please send me the URL and 1 will set up a link on our links page.

The Events Page is another area where Guilds and other groups can advertise events to Guild members and the public. Simply email the complete event informa- tien to <bepguild @intouch.be.ca> and the information will be added to the site,

Project Empty Bowl 2002

Potting get-togethers are already planned for the next Empty Bowl event March 21. Some time in Jangary a few friends and I are getting together to pot “tl we drop and make as many bowls as we can. Organize a potting event in your own studia — make ita party. We need 400 bowls for Project Empty Bow! 2002 and every potter’s con- tribution is a valuable one.

For those mew to PEB, the charity organi- zauon A Loving Spoonful has put on Project Empty Bowl as a biennial event at the Canadian Museum of Craft and Design since 1998, With the generous support of BC potters we mised $20,000 the first year and $30,000the second. All proceeds go to Provide nourshing meals lo men, women and children living in the final stages of AIDS. This is a worthwhile event.

For bow! drop-off and further information on the project, call Rachelle at 604.874.8518.
