The Edmonton area potters are invited to contact me if they would like to
come along for two days of informal pottery-talk and raku firing at my cabin
out in
the bush. There is no expense involved--except what you need to eat and
drink or care to contribute to a potluck.
There are still raffle tickets (fundraiser) available to win one of the
fabulous 20 donated works of art!!!!
