LIBRARY

Of the 22 missing books listed in the November News- letter, not one has been returned to our library.

Members, please, please, take a look among your own books, in case you have misplaced one belonging to the Potters Guild.

In addition, the following books are overdue for periods of up to two years: Casson Craft of the Potter, Piepenburg Raku, Rottger Creative Clay Design, Sandeman Working with Porcelain, Sellers Potters Wheel Projects, Shafer Pottery Decoration, Tagai Japanese Ceramics, Van der Sleen Handbook on Beads, Vargin Technology of Knamels, Woody Handbuilding, Zeiss & Green Staying Afloat. There are also various periodicals overdue,

It is a very time-consuming process trying to track down these misplaced books and journals, and, it may be added, quite a few of your dollars would be needed to replace the missing items.

On a happier note: Liz Calder still has enough confi- dence in us to donate to the Library a second book: Larden & Hull The Off-wheel Pottery Book (she had earlier given us the Sunset Ceramics). Thank you Liz.

I hope a deeper sense of responsibility will prevail among book borrowers in the future,

Anne Tolmie "Cataloguer"

HELPFUL HINTS

Old socks can be useful. Cut off the leg parts and wear this ribbed band on your wrists when pulling handles. This stops the drips from running down to your elbows. Wrist warmers covering the pulse vein help keep hands warmer when working/throwing in a cold studio.
