From the Editor
It is time to leave for China again. I might already be in
China when you read my newsletter. I have been
leading American groups on tours of Ceramic China
since 1998. We take two groups each year now. The
first group leaves by the end of May, and another
group leaves by early October.
I have to get the news finished before I leave. I am
going to write more in next issue. It is a lot fun for me
to travel with our American friends to China.

Free Shipping-Happy Holidays
Letter from Guangzhen Zhou, the Chinese Clay Art
director
It is the holiday season again and the
year of 2007 has almost ended.
We would like offer free shipping (until Dec. 31, 2007)
to our valued clients and say "Happy Holidays" to
everyone!
During the past year, we have faced the problems of
inflations for most raw materials and gasoline, the
labors' price rose in China. The US currency
exchange rate dropped. But we have to keep our low
prices and high quality products to keep our
customers satisfied. We have been focused on the
quality improvement. One of the problems was the
CLAY GUN- it was difficulty to press the clay
out
from the
tube. I had the factory add one more lock piece on the
bar which made it work easier.
Guangzhen Zhou, Chief Editor - http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?e=001bVafrcAcLgtryMN6JrhLjOjh2tlsA62gmOJyu-7NX4OAT9Frlh3hRiOvfzZ2hj6YGjYQS8_ccOhqT4PFbabmFdPG5tpmpE4GJ1uyMeir1jMRpMo5yBEdrA==

The American delegation spent three nights in Yixing.
They have had Mr. Ding who was a photographer from
Yixing Daily Newspaper followed for one and half days
and he took a lot of photos for us. In the next day, there

Shapiro with the director of Yixing Museum when they
were handling the pieces for donation. Next day, a
newspaper of "New China Daily" (the Jiangsu
Provincial News) with the pictures of the group
Americans purchasing clay tools at a local store
published.
On Oct 27, right after send the American delegation
home, Guangzhen Zhou went back to Yixing for an
opening of a local ceramic exhibition and he received

Ceramic Association and Yixing Ceramic Association.
It says: Mr. Guangzhen Zhou, Thanks for your
