It's possible to make what people want to buy and still please yourself," Rtchar Peeler told an audience of potters at McHenry County college recently. Peeler, a production potter who spent 21 years teaching, first at the high school level and then at DePauw university, spoke at a workshop sponsored by the Clayworkers Guild. Peeler came to MCC as a friend and former professor of MCC ceramics instructor Susan Galloway. He and his wife Marj have been making their living from their pottery for seven years since Peeler retired from teaching. While cautioning his audience that he was telling "how I do it", not telling them how they should work. Peeler explained that the bulk of his work is utilitarian items and functional pottery rather than one-of-a-kind art works. "That's what sells," Peeler explained as he told students that he and his wife average 1U.000 pieces of pottery each year. Peeler's past includes exhibiting in national shows, writing for Ceramics Monthly magazine, production of eight motion pictures for McGraw Hill and work as varied as wood sculptures, portraits carved out of limestone and a 13-foot tall fiberglass and epoxy sculpture. "Match" is one of the ugliest words in the English language. It sends shivers up my back. When people say match' they don't mean approximate," Peeler told the potters. He explained he leans toward the Japanese philosophy of ac­ cepting his work as it turns out rather than always striving for perfection. Peeler said he's avoided the "trap" of making dinnerware. He had the potters laughing loudly as he explained that making plates is not only dif­ ficult, but that the purchasers come back to haunt you for serving dishes, salt and pepper shakers and cups and saucers. "Even when the person who bought the dishes dies, the next generation bugs you for replacement pieces!" Peeler said. While most of his work is production, Peeler admits he does some one-of-a-kind pieces including architectural con­ structions several feej tall that are made up of small detailed parts. He said the architectural work "is a relief from discipline" and "very creative". It's the only work he makes that he doesn't have the finished product exactly in his mind before he starts. Showing slides of his home and studio which he built himself, in Reelsville, Ind., Peeler came upon a 3 foot wide sculpture he keeps outdoors "This one is called 'Abstract Sculpture Resembling a Saddle Chicken' " Peeler said, and he cautioned the potters to always title their work. "You've never heard of Picasso's famous 'Untitled'," he said, noting that another one-of-a-kind piece is titled "Abstract Sculpture Resembling a Large Round Pot." Peeler's sense of humor came across as he showed the potters his spherical bird houses which are labeled in the clay either Wren" or "Not a Wren House". He said it's one way to keep customers from complaining that other birds moved into the house they thought was for wrens Peeler cautioned that potters should avoid custom orders because there is $500 worth of design and development time in a $10 pot and the customer still may not like the finished work. Peeler admitted he'd like a chance to do more sculpture or one-of-a-kind pieces. "But people categorize you and it's hard to refute it Everybody's a mixture of all types and talents, but we have a reputation as utilitarian potters and so we don't get calls from people looking for one-of-a-kind art or for scuplture." Peeler said. Beach Gals Plant, Bake Sale Coming Saturday, May 12 The Beach Gals are planning an exciting spring and summer of activities, with the next event being the annual plant and bake sale.

Navy Base Opens To Public A rare behind-the-scenes look at naval training and Navy life can be enjoyed at the Great Lakes Navy base when they open their gates to the public Saturday, May 12. Activities will begin Saturday morning when 500 new sailors celebrate their completion of eight weeks of boot camp with a recruit graduation parade. This colorful ceremony features performances by the Navy band, the world famous Bluejacket choir, and special performing groups such as the recruit drum and bugle corps, the drill team and the 50-flag marching unit. Recruit graduations are usually held on Friday and are always open to the public. This special Saturday review, however, should be convenient for many more people and will make a good family outing.

In the event of inclement weather, it will be held indoors at one of the large drill halls. In either case, visitors are asked to be in their seats by 9:30 a.m. The ceremony will be over shortly after 11 a.m. While at the boot camp, visitors will also be able to take a look inside a typical recruit barracks or watch a film about recruit training. The recruit galley, which feeds up to 9,000 sailors per meal, will open its doors for tours. Across Sheridan road, at the area of the base known as Service School command, visitors will have the op­ portunity to get a look inside several of the technical training schools. Gunnersmate school will introduce some of the Navy's most modern gun and missile systems such as Tartar. Terrier, and ASROC (Anti­ s u b m a r i n e R o c k e t ) . Propulsion Engineering school will exhibit a variety of propulsion systems, including steam, diesel, and gas turbine engines.
