A huge thanks to Terry Smith who has been so helpful with loading and unloading kilns – we don’t know what we’d do without you! Scary how time flies, and even scarier that we are heading for Fire and Clay – admittedly in 3 months’ time, but in a potter’s life that’s not too far away in terms of making and being prepared (yeah right!) - wonder how many potters will be pulling work out of kilns and straight in for photos. But seriously, we are looking at a date of October 8th for entry deadlines (leaving us time for the selection and judging process) so get making and planning! Thanks to the newsletter contributors and to Catherine Spence on the Committee, who is now responsible for gathering newsletter info and articles.

  • What a Sad Time for Christchurch and for Those Affected, Wherever They May Be
    FFeebb 22001111 Roger's Ramblings What a sad time for Christchurch and for those affected, wherever they may be. Our thoughts are certainly with folk there and in particular with fellow potters, many of whom lost much of their valuable ceramic collections in last September‟s earthquake. On a happier note - Congratulations to Mia Hamilton for a very successful exhibition up on Waiheke Island. And welcome back to Vivian Rodriguez who has been away for six weeks visiting her family over in Costa Rica. Her classes started last Tuesday 22nd with a full class but as there were insufficient enrolments to have two classes Ivan‟s Monday classes will not be held this term. Have you been to The New Dowse lately? If not, try to get there to see Richard Stratton‟s stunning exhibition „Apres Les Baleines‟: the fruits of eighteen months hard work and a lifetime‟s imagination. Highly recommended. Wisha McNaught & Rhonda Edwards have generously donated a new photo album to the library. The first series of photos are those taken by Wisha at last November‟s BBQ/birthday party. I hope we can add to it as a permanent record of our activities. There is something to be said for having good old fashioned prints you can look at years later without the need for any electronics. The small FE kiln (FE1) is out of action with a burned out element. It can be used for bisque firings until the element is replaced. One of the problems the club faces is the high maintenance and electricity costs associated with firing to stoneware temperatures, in particular the frequent need to replace damaged/ fused elements.
