The 1st Regional Meeting of the Potters Council has been organized
around the theme of Firing Practices. Mark your calendars now-June
12-15, 2003. The Workshop will be held on the campus of the University
of Wisconsin in Lacrosse, WI. A tentative schedule of events will be
printed in the next issue of Potters Pages, due out in the next 2 weeks
and on the Potters Council Website.

The Workshop is intended to be an interactive learning experience,
covering a broad range of topics-from firing to decorating to kiln
maintenance. All of the presenters, firing crews and panelists have
graciously donated their time to keep the costs of attending low for
participants. We hope to see 200 potters gather on the UW-La Crosse
campus and that this inaugural regional meeting will be a model for
future workshops that can be held around the country.

Many affordable housing options will be available, from camping to
on-campus dormitory rooms, to local hotels. Most meals are included in
the registration fee. Watch for complete details to come in the mail
soon to Potters Council members. Or visit the Potters Council Website
www.potterscouncil.org for additional
information. Potters Council members will receive discounts on
registration fees.

Sincerely,
Karen Terpstra and Christine Schnitzer
