For this piece the artist was using a basic white firing clay, a material which is plastic and easy to throw. This clay can be cast, sculptured or thrown on the wheel, Mr. Onstad explained. Potters also use other material, including a red clay or clay with "grog" bits of fired clay which Imparts body and texture to the material.

There Is widespread inter est in all phases of art and handicraft in southern Ore gon and northern California, but Mr. Onstad says there seems to be an especially keen interest in ceramics. He points out that the term "cer7 amies" is a broad, inclusive term as opposed to pottery which in a narrower sense in cludes the coarser kind of ceramic work, and work which begins with the clay and the potter's wheel. Cer amists often finish the cast pieces, while potters begin with a lump of clay which they design and form Into a piece of poltory. There are many ceramic shops in the area -a bout 20, Mr. Onstad says. - At the gallery, he has a large kiln for firing the clay pieces. He also sells clay on a wholesale basis. Mr. Onstad studied art in Minnesota, in Chicago, at Northern Illinois Stale uni versity, and at Southern Ore gon college. Before coming to the Hogue valley, he worked as a ?ot designer for the Port land Civic theater. His wife, Ilelly, teaches physical edu cation and art - which he doesn't believe Is a particu larly strange combination, in the Central Point schools.
