This year Salient again introduces a Service Page for students. We have, we hope, provided a full list of the goods and services you will be needing this year. Freshers especially should find it useful. By shopping with the downtown firms which advertise on this page you will be returning some of the goodwill they have shown to students.

Japanese Ceramics Exhibition
An exhibition of Mingei (folk craft) ceramics sponsored by the Japan Society of New Zealand was recently held in the Centre Gallery. The Mingei school are a contemporary group of potters whose work is based on traditional or "folk" crafts.
The works of Shoji Hamada, one of the leading Mingei potters, included slab built bottles, plates with trailed decoration and tea bowls. Of particular interest were a series of individual tea cups, taller in comparison to width than ours, handleless, some "jointed" half way or further down and standing on a small raised rim. Each was individual in form and design.
A small selection of traditional stoneware was exhibited, and a collection of Kyoto scrolls lent by Dr. T. Barrow.
Examples of contemporary English studio pottery showed the far-reaching influence of the Mingei group. Work included pieces from Leach Pottery, St. Ives. Cornwall.
