Many of the items that are
finished are of a practical
nature, such as the plates, ash
trays, bowls, and candleholders.
"Its a lot of fun", claims Leita,
"I feel like a farmer, because I
have all the animals", she laughs
alluding to the many figurines
that she has finished.

Claus Stuck
By RICHARD WEERNINK

Waiting for Santa to come I
watched the clock tick the
seconds off to midnight. I saw
also that food had not been put on
the table. So I went to the
refrigerator. I took out a piece of
lemon pie. Then I got the coffee
maker from the cupboard and
made him a cup of coffee. Then I
got the cream and foaming
sugar. I put in the foaming sugar.
Then all of the sudden the sugar
foamed up to my knees.
I took twenty minutes to clean
it up.
If your wondering how it did it
in that little time, I used the fan
and blew all the foam outside.
Luckily the pie wasn't spoiled,
I put the pie in the nice table.
Just then I wondered will he
make through the sixty
centimeter diameter new
chimney,
While wondering I heard a man
shout, "Come on Dasher,
Dancer, Prancer, Nixin, Comet,
Cupid and Blitzen. Then I knew
that must be St. Nick. I heard the
deer trotting on the roof and one
dancing. I knew that must be
Dancer.
When he came down the'
chimney he got stuck like a cork
in a bottle. I thought if I don't get
hitnout,the,children will be crying
so loudly that the Moon will be
cried out of orbit around the
earth.
So I got out nine-seventy case,
I also put a pulley on the Chimney
and another on the wall. I took a
rope and strung it through the
pullies. Then I went down to
Santa and tied it to hiS belt.
He was going head first when
he got stuck,
Then I told Santa to give me a
bust thirty centimeters with his
feet. When I got down the latter
that lead to the roof, I started the
tractor then I shifted it in
second. Slowly Santa came Out
arid poof Santa came out With his
waist line eighteen centimeters
smaller,
So Santa made his rounds very
happily,
Here, beneath the lamplight's glow,
we gather to joyously sing out, "Hello,"
To you and ail those you hold dear,
a holiday filled with lots of cheer!

One afternoon a week, four
women from the Exeter area
travel to Motherwell where they
meet with their ceramics teacher
who fires objects they have
glazed, stained or toned, during
the past week.
"It was something for mother
and I to do in our spare time",
explains Joyce Morgan, who
along with her mother, Leita
Ferguson, has been taking in-
struction from Mrs. Griffin in her
country home for over two years
About a year ago, the two
women were joined in their hobby
by Burdene Morgan, Joyce's
mother-in-law, and Linda Johns,
a friend.
Although the women do not
create the figures that they glaze,
they have learned to apply
colours to each object giving a
unique and personal look. There
are bright, multi-coloured
figurines, intricately-glazed
pottery forms, Christmas candle-
holders, and cute little knick-
knacks among their collections of
completed works.
All four agree that the most
difficult pieces to paint are
figurines with their many curves
and fine lines. "They take so
many layers of paint and they
have to be re-fired", says Bur-
dene., Figurines also afford a
great deal of creative room for
.the budding artist. Glazes, stains,
and antiquing techniques are all
utilized in finishing the figures,
"For the Nativity scene, I used
a wash, then it was wiped off and
finally glazed," Burdene says.
The four women also work with
china plates. They have learned
that much of the interesting art
on china is actually from decals
which are applied before firing.
piling,"
The pre-molded figures and
objects that they finish off consist
of fired grey clay. Before any
painting can start, each object
must be sanded until all the rough
edges and ridges, which develop
from the mold. have been
smoothed down.
Unfinished objects themselves,
are relatively inexpensive, It is
the time and patience which goes
into decorating them with fine
colours, and the costs of firing,
which give each piece of ceramic
