the country's people and approaches to clay, plus other special guests.

will talk about the development of concepts and his own work. Canadian
artists speaking include Roger Aksadjuak, Robert Archambeau, Leopold Foulem,
Steven Heinemann, Harlan House, Astrid Kruse, Laura Wee Lay Laq, Jeannie
Mah, Les Manning, Richard Milette, Walter Ostrom, Greg Payce, Laurie
Rolland, Bruno Simard, Bruce Taylor, Sam Uhlick and Reed Weir. Special guest
Jim Shirley runs the Matchbox Gallery, in Rankin Inlet in the Canadian
arctic, which represents Roger Aksadjuak.
