Hi All,
Jeorge McGladrey asked me to circulate this for the Tozan Cultural Society
of Nanaimo, B.C., just beside Gabriola Island, on Vancouver Island. Hot bed
of B.C. pottery.
If you want to see the kilns, go to http://isis.physics.utoronto.ca/ and
follow the Tozan link. Pictures and purple prose from my recent visit out
there. They are beautiful kilns. Fine potters, too.

Hi again,
Jeorge McGladrey wrote again, saying that the initial information was, um,
well, wrong. I'm sorry to have contributed to the noise level on the list.
If you would like the updated version, please ask me, or look at my website,
where I will try to keep up with Jeorges corrections. She's really a fine
person, you know, after all.:->
