Last week Women Day Out members really went to pot! Sheila Gunbyrdemonstrated for us her talents at 'the potter's wheel. Sheila has been in the pottery business for six years. She told us there are two basic types of clay - stoneware and earthenware. The latter is used primarily. for manufacturing ceramics such as Blue Mountain Pottery. This particular form of clay requires a glaze to make it hold water. Stoleware is popular for coffee mugs, casserole, and planters. It's unlikely to chip if dropped, and can be used in the oven. Using this clay, Sheila made some delightful pots on her wheel. She made several from coils and slabs of clay without using the wheel. Her hobby has become a business for Sheila - she supplies shops with her goods and sells her wares at craft shows and at her home in Dungannon. Sheila enjoys her "potting career" since she can work from her home. t4 "' The second in`µ:tho series of Goderich; Theatre produCtioris'w at McKay i°Ial{, on We., evening, February 23' p.m. As in - the case'4 year's opening pi'e production '}Evej Loves .Opal" will r' evenings, February 2 2G.
