fireworks symposium, edmonton

updated fri 24 oct 97

 

ret on wed 22 oct 97


I've been meaning to send out an update on the Fireworks 98 Symposium, so
this letter to Peggy reminded me:

Confirmed: Warren MacKenzie, Jun Kuneko, Janet Mansfield, Fred Olsen,
Chuck Wissinger, John Chalke, Diane Sullivan, William Truchon (computer
graphics), Ryan Cameron. I think that's it. Maybe forgot somebody for a
panel.

Date: May 21-24.

Pre-Symposium Kilnbuilding workshop with Olsen, (MOn/Tues/Wed before).
Bring made pieces to fire.

Some things are not quite finalized, i.e. exact fee, but there will be a
considerable increase over the past years.

We are going to try to billet anybody who might need it to help out with
budgeting.

There should be an updated web page:
www://extension.ualberta.ca/finearts/fireworks

This promises to be a pretty exciting week. Usually, the atmosphere of the
workshop is very intimate. Small groups, allowing for personal contact and
private time with artists/craftsmen/friends one usually only sees from a
distance or finds no time for.

The Non-NCECA Symposium. My name for "Bigger is not always Better."
