LETTERS

Dear Sirs,

I refer to the message written by Mr. Guangzhen Zhou, regarding the =
announcement of the participation of the Chinese Ceramic Art Council in =
the NCECA Conference at Kansas City.

The Newsletter "Chinese Clayart" has the noble asset to be a bridge =
between China and Western countries.

In this respect I would like to announce the birth of an "International =
Forum" dealing with the ceramic technique of "Naked Raku."

The mission statement of this new E-Group mentions the intention of =
exchanging experiences, discussing working methods, exchanging recipes, =
and creating a data base for all technical matters concerned, as well to =
create e-picture albums showing all rich variations of this rich =
technique, originating from 15th-century raku.

I would like to request you to visit to this site, and pass on its =
address (URL) and accessibility to anyone you judge could be interested.

Thanking you in advance for your interest and cooperation, I remain, =
dear sirs, yours faithfully,

Wally Asselberghs
