Known for his fantastic effects with crystalline glazes, Lewis Krzyorkowski mounts an entire show featuring this fascinating glazing technique. Crystalline glazes are produced through specific glaze formulation and carefully controlled firing procedures. Like adust particle acting as the seed for a snowflake, portions of the glaze separate in an orderly manner, which then form crystals on the surface of the pots.

The col- oured slip paintings that float on the surface integrate a gestural style while telling a story.

Update on Gallery Lighting Project

The Gallery Committec has started to con- tact lighting experts and BC Hydro for proposals to improve the lighting in the Gallery and at the same time install energy saving bulbs to cut long-term hydro costs.

We are making greal progress on raising funds for new lights. At the Trudy Golley workshop participants raised $285, and January and February sales of donated mugs amounted to 3483. This means that we now have $2,633 in the bank!

Special thanks to donors, Darrel Hancock, Judy Burke, Laune Rolland, Pia Sillem, Lynne Johnsen, Heather Cairns, Sue Griese, Sheila Morissette, Rachelle Chinnery, Markian Kyba, Stephen Plant, Jim Stamper and Maggi Kneer.

Our goal is to raise $5,000 before we commence any work. So if you haven't already done so, why not drop off a few mugs for this project?
