the crudest pottery to fine china and porcelain ceram ics are made from one thing clay which is decomposed rock wearing off from the surface of rock formations and carried away to riverbeds and onto river banks It takes thousands of years to scrape off and accumulate and has no synthetic substitute It can be carried for miles from its source and in so doing gathers impurities which makes it a more plastic clay This ancient craft was explain ed to Kingcrafters by Mrs Rob ert Crawford teacher of ceramics to the Kingcraft pottery group Ceramic making is fascinating but is a big subject and ones are the best tools The original hard clay called Kaolin is used in the finest por celain or china but of itself can not be fired as it requires too much heat It is mixed with a softer clay said Mrs Crawford who learned her art with Mer cedes Mrs Crawford showed sculp toring by Mrs Cooke who used grey clay from wells at subdivision mixed with while clay It is surprising how clay chang es color after it is fired A blue green red or black can come out huff and reddish The kiln is testing time said Mrs The raw clay must be thor oughly wedged or thrown on a block 50 times to remove the air pockets AH clay contains air and water and until it is wedged and the water bubbles pricked the results when put in the kiln can he disastrous Mixed clay is first washed and screened to get out stones and twigs The coil method is the oldest that is rolled into worms and these sealed together with slip This is the same type of clay mixed with water Anything can be made from coils Glazing is very important Mrs Crawford fires before and after glazing The clay object must be well dried by natural air before it is fire It can be left for months to dry out the water con tent otherwise an explosion may happen in the heat kiln for the water has to go some place The pinchpat method using the palm of the hand to shape the ceramic can he used One be comes very adept and sensitive with the hand as everybody does not use the wheel method Decorating or slip trailing color on the raw clay makes the decor ative scheme on a ceramic Glaz ing also can turn out differently after it comes from the kiln after six to seven hours Ceramic kiln heat is derpes but porcelain to degrees The of the kiln is a study in itself Mrs Crawford demonstrated coiling a snout and handle for a tea pot and fixing it on the bowl with The slab method of fashioning a ceramic is also used Mrs Cooke had made a little table lan tern holding a lichted candle which vorv attractive Mrs Crawford was wearing a costume broach and earrings in white and blue mounted with sil ver to go with her navy blue silk dress costume J vingcrofor I Mrs Crawford displayed several pieces of ceramics I At meeting Mar M it decided to obtain three display show cases for Kingcraft House each six feet long Here the cer amics and all the other handi crafts can be shown to the best advantage Mrs K Tuck thanked Mrs Crawford

be far more costly No government be given and ratepayers would finance the project over a 10year period Consent of the government to work out the existing scheme was achieved last fall by a depu tation waiting on the minister of highways The department to a per cent subsidy with township meeting the re maining per cent of the cost on condition each property own er pay for his own culverts or
