Among other models she is creating are two old churches, both of which are called St. John's incidentally. One is the oldest church in British North America, built in the Maritimes in 1753‘ and the other is St. John’s in Willowdaie at Hogg‘s Hollow, which was built in 1816. The sculptures of Henry Moore are also providing some inspiration for Mrs. MacKay in the creation of a series of planters, vases. candle holders and lamp bases. It is interesting to see a piece{ of pottery created from start to: finish. First of all the clay is, formed into the body of the‘ article and then left to dry for as long as one or two weeks? after which it is fired in the‘ kiln at a temperature of 1742‘ degrees. 1 After cooling, which can take about 12 to 18 hours, the item is glazed and then returned to the kiln at an even higher tem- perature â€". 2300 degrees, for about eight hours. Finally the kiln is opened and the finished article removed and cooled. It can be a very tense moment when the kiln is opened finally, for the slightest error in tem- perature control could have caused the pottery to crack â€" a heartbreak after so many hours of work. Mrs. MacKay’s work has been exhibited in many places, in- luding the O’Keefe Centre dur- ing the annual Spring Garden and Flower Show. the outdoor an. exhibit at City Hall, the (Photo by Bernard A.
