Fall continues and so do the number of visitors coring through our doors, People
from all over the world are very impressed with the quality and diversity of the work

displayed.

The first fall feature, “Fired Up", was very well received. Pat Webber’s small frog bow)
was popular. with many, many people wishing there was another. Louise Card's
small one-bird pitcher was another piece people were drawn to time and time again.
Diane Searle's celadon tea set was a real charmer. Before the show closed, Gordon
Hutchen's large low-fired vessel and ‘copper’ plate were whisked away to the
Canadian Embassy in Japan.

Marlene Bowman's show, “The Colours of Copper’, has been even more successful.
One large Vessel was bought as we were selling up the show. Another vessel went
back to Japan to become the honorable water container for the tea ceremony. Mar-
lene's Uhrown forms are strong and the wonderful subtle colours of her copper slain
enhance the forme to perfection,
