Designed for beauty, sight or touch... masterpieces in clay. 4 inne A busy beehive of people spinning clay on a wheel... You’ve watched them through the windows many times as you climbed College Hill. All man- ner of shapes and sizes appear in the work which is displayed on the window sills and shelves. The craftsman with his clay- covered hands seems far re- moved from these colorful ob- jects which you see. Now you are on the inside looking out; white with plaster dust, grimy with clay, but exuberantly —a potter.

Individual expression in form, action and proportion by these three-dimensional draughtsmen. WA Y ou lean over the balcony taking a bird’s eye view of your latest masterpiece. After dabbing a little more clay here and there, you round the contours into a smooth, pleasing profile and compare the sketch with the model. A few more refinements: measure and pat the clay down, model it with your finger tips, and beam with pride as the form takes shape. You stand back in bright self- confidence while Mr. Raemisch comments on your work. An hour later you begin again, “and this time it will be a good one!”
