This past December was yet again a record-breaking
month for sales in the Gallery, and I thank all of you
involved for your patience and assistance at such a
busy time. At the December jurying, Laurie Rolland
was accepted as a new Gallery seller, and we welcome

her.

January is our annual 20% off sale, for most of the
work, and our regular hours are 10:30 - 5:30 pm,
Tuesday through Sunday.

In February, we take part in Design Vancouver's
annual city-wide event, by featuring “Design for the
Table”. table ware designed and made by a number of
our regular Gallery members. We invite everyone to
visit, February 5th through 25th.

Coralie Triance, Manager

The Jurying Committee for the Gallery reports that in
the month ahead they will be focussing on several
tasks at hand. While a decision has already been
made that jurying will take place three times a year,
rather than the previous six, the Committee will
determine dates for this jurying as soon as possible.
Atthe same time, they intend to develop a mechanism
for the annual “rejurying” of the Gallery, the sole
purpose of such “rejurying” being the ongoing revitali-
zation of the Gallery. It suffers from chronic lack of
storage space, and hopefully, something can be done
to ease this, This “housekeeping” ts proposed to be
done during the present month of January.

The jury itself hopes to do some self-rejuvenation, in
the form of rotation or changes in jury membership, as
well. If there are any questions, do not hesitate to get
in touch with Coralie Triance at the Gallery, or D'Arcy
Margesson, Gallery Committee Chairman.

The Board of Directors of the Potters Guild of
B.C. has announced the selection of an appli-
cant for residence in the Studio 5 space at
1359 Cartwright. Friederike Rahn, a former
student at the Nova Scotia School of Art and
Design, will shortly begin to work in that space
oecupied this past year by Philip Robbins.
