Situated on Downie Street they had no difficulty in locating the premises as the Guild students had made an at- tractive sign which was fastened on the door. Demonstrations of the pro- fessional skills of hand builders Silver Iasser and Karen Scott Booth revealed to them the techniques and artistry of this type of pot- tery. Using the hand building method Silver Lasser used 15 pound clay to form a pot decorated with cut work, which was then smoothed with wet chamois, a process which produced a truly pro- fessional finish. Another in- teresting item was a 10 inch round pot, a third grogged with two previously made -coolie hats" as decoration. / variety of smaller pots of various types provided the visitors with other examples of the professional potters skills. Karen Scott Booth produc- ed altogether about a dozen pots using the "thrown on the wheel" method. Two of these were Targe platters which required some seven pounds of clay each. She also demonstrated the shaping of goblets and a tea pot, the lat- ter using two and one-half pounds of clay, and also as part of her expertise, showed how she would set about pro- ducing a set of dishes. Following this splendid op- portunity to see professional potters at work, the visitors were entertained to lunch at the riverside home of one of the girls. The Stratford Pot- tery Guild has some fifty pupils, and the represen- tati,.•es from the Bayfield Group were most ap- preciative of the opportunity to see for themselves at first hand the professionals at work.
