It was with great pleasure that the Delta Potters
in Tsawwassen hosted a hands-on workshop with
Alison Feargrieve, one of Vancouver's accom-
plished clay artists. Alison proved herself to be
energetic, funny and extremely inventive as she
demonstrated the construction of one of her fan-
ciful teapots with cream and sugar attachments.

ALISON AT DELTA POTTERS GUILD

Everyone agreed that she had many original ideas to share and that we
all came away excited to explore new territory. Thanks to Alison fora
great weekend and best of luck to her in the future. The attached pho-
tograph illustrates the wonderful footed teapot “creature” she made
during the workshop in Delta.
