LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor: In the last issue of the "Wester Potter" we feel that the impression was given that our group had just started to use local materials with Frances Hatfield at her workshop with us this spring.

This impression is not a true one, we must give credit to Zeljko Kujundzic, who started us off by finding a local clay seam at his workshop and giving us a recipe using this clay in the glaze.

Then, too, our own B,C, Guild of Potters sponsored a 10-day workshop here in 1969, when Jack Wells, Req Dixon, Charmian Johnson and Brian Johnstad, assisted by Ellin Chamberlain continued the work of testing local clays.

In 1970 Jan Grove gave us an excellent workshop in glazing.

We would like to acknowledge the work these fine potters have done with us on using local materials. They gave us the back- ground to make our workshop with Frances so successful.

May we congratulate you on your last issue of the "Western Potter". It is one of the best yet. The article by Jean Marie Weakland will prove most helpful to us. We are planning to make her suggestions the basis of our monthly work programmes next winter. Yours truly,

Ruth Flower,

Publicity Chairman,

Cariboo Potters’ Guild,

Box 5000, Williams Lake.
