'An Expert Touch'.<br />
Derwent Valley Gazette Wed Oct 30 1974<br />
I have just come across this old newspaper featuring Joan<br />
Campbell and thought you might like it for your archives.<br />
This workshop was held in my garden and was very<br />
well attended by members of the Tasmanian Potters<br />
Society and a group of about six prisoners from my oid<br />
pottery class at the Hayes Prison Farm, complete with a<br />
warder (he was the odd man out). We all had a splendid<br />
time. I still have that pot and another Joan gave me.<br />
She will be missed greatly not only for her skills bu t<br />
also for her wannth and generosity.<br />

I would like you to ple-dsc publish the following in the<br />
next edition.<br />
I would also like to take this opportunity to<br />
congrawlate you and your staff on the quality of your<br />
publication . I teach ceramics at a large Sydney High<br />
School and we use your magazine extensively to provide<br />
inspiration for ou r students and provide stimulus and<br />
ideas needed to construct innovative programs.<br />
Question: I use low firing earthenware clays and would<br />
like to fmd a good, safe, dry glaze to usc on sculptural<br />
pieces. Any suggestions'<br />

ERRATUM<br />
During 1994 and 1995 I was a ceramics student at Monash<br />
UniverSity Frankston and was fortunate to have Chris<br />
Myers and Paul Davis as teachers. Chris and Paul have<br />
accumulated an amazing knowledge of ceramic glazes<br />
and decorative techniques during their ceramic careers.<br />
This knowledge was always generously passed onto us<br />
as students.<br />
<strong>In</strong> the article I wrote about sandblasting (<strong>Vol</strong> 35/4) I<br />
carelessly omitted to mention that much of the<br />
information was originally researched by Chris Myers at<br />
Monash and generously passed onto students to try in<br />
their studio work. Chris's enthUSiasm and expertise in<br />
sandblasting was the initial inspiration for my attempts at<br />
sandblasting and building sandblasting equipment.<br />
Yours faithfully<br />
