Calling St. John's Craft Producers

Next weekend is the Craft Council of Newfoundland and Labrador's Annual General Meeting and get together (May 22-24th,2009). This year's activities are taking place in and around St. John's, especially Devon House and the Anna Templeton Centre. We'll be doing a studio tour out of the city on Friday to New Harbour, Upper Island Cove, and Clarke's Beach.

If you are a craft council member living in St. John's, then I'm your regional representative. I'll be giving a report and slideshow of news and photos submitted by St. John's craftspeople. Please send me your news and gossip before next Thursday (May 21st).

Ideas for news:

• New Commissions
• Upcoming or recent Gallery Shows
• Births
• Interesting vacations
• Awards
• New Products, House, or Studio
  
• New websites or blogs
• Graduating or going back to school?
  
• anything you want to share with other craftspeople
  

The same goes for every member across the Province - you'd be doing your regional rep a favour if you send them some news and photos for their report. If you aren't sure who your representative is, you can find the list of names and contact information inside the Craft Council Newsletter.

If you'll be in St. John's next weekend and would like more information on attending, I can forward you the information that I have or you can contact Candace at the Craft Council.
