Is anyone attending the Clay Symposium taking place at the Shadbolt Centre
for the Arts this coming weekend in Burnaby, BC (Canada)?

Brunswick), Bob Kingsmill (Vernon, BC), Kinichi Shigeno (Richmond, BC), Sam

I tell ya, after hearing all the feedback about NCECA I am so jealous but I
am also so grateful we have something similar happening this weekend here in
British Columbia. I do plan on making it to New Orleans in 2008!

Hi, Lisa,
Hope you enjoyed the symposium as much as I did, although I was
frustrated I couldn't go say "Hi" to my good buddy Mark Hewitt. I did
have a wonderful opportunity to have a conversation with Magdelene
Ondundu, though. I looked for you, but not knowing what you looked
like, didn't find ya. I did see your wonderful teapot though!
Beautiful! I loved that glaze and it worked so well on the form.
Kudos to you! It was very enjoyable to see all the work.
I went to Kenichi Shigeno's demo on stencils, Jeannie Mah's print
transferrs and to Diane Creber's crystaline glaze presentations. I
must say I got a lot out of each one--plenty to think about. I think
I prefer the smaller, more intimate format of Shadbolt in many ways.
Being a highly distractible personality, it's easier for me to take
in.
I doubt if I'll go to New Orleans. I personally don't like the place
having been there many times and I'm concerned their being ready
(which I doubt they will be) and about safety. But, that's my own
buggaboo.
I'm a member of BC Potters, so I'll be on the look-out for any more
opportunities. It's a 3 1/2 hr drive for me from my house. Certainly
not a killer, but I did go up Friday and stayed overnight prior to
the symposium.
Cheers,
Jeanette
