The drop dead “go or cancel” date for registration is May 21 2010

(PS Check out the price for this workshop. It is a steal……really)

Peter is conducting a workshop at his studio in Pensacola March 22 - 27 2010

Starting March 22 (or 23) he will be posting “as it happens” progress on his web site.

Survey Request

The CCGG is trying to stay afloat financially and is looking for verbal support from Canadian artists in order to aid in procuring funding through grants .If our artists respond then that’s of interest to the gallery and to the granting bodies. This is our national gallery for clay and glass arts. It should matter to us that it stays healthy.
If the guild members would just take a few minutes and answer their question, I’m sure they would be appreciative. Sometimes numbers count.
Thanks for this.
Louise
