Harry Davis workshop, The publication will be well illustrated

will be sold for $1.00 each, The membership will be advised
when copies are available.

2. Details of the Annual Hycroft Sale of Pottery were discussed.

However, it was felt that expenses were well justified and that
the workshop benefitted the membership.

$10.00 per page.

This is the first in a series of articles that I plan to write and dis-
tribute to customers of PLAINSMAN CLAYS; if they prove to be of
broader interest they will be distributed more widely. I am doing
this rather than refer each inquiry to a good text because a certain
few problem areas need to be encountered immediately, individually
and face to face. These are exactly the same problems that confront
and confound manufacturers of such products as bricks, sewer-pipe
and pottery; they are the problems that we all have and, to some
degree, always will have. Competence in handling these problems
defines our technical success as craftsmen.

Before undertaking these articles there should be some presentation
of my qualifications so that you may know in what light to accept them:

1) Member of the Canadian Guild of Potters in 1940 and a practising
potter and teacher of pottery during most of the intervening years.
2) Two and a half years in employment and supervisory positions
in commercial potteries.
