RERAMIC STUDIO 
bers of the association have studied design for many years 
under the most able instructors obtainable. 
Miss Bessie Bennett of the Art Institute has lead the club 
in the design class for several years. All those who have 
worked for Institute Exhibitions under her dh-ection are greatly 
indebted for her enthusiasm and interest in ceramics. Her 
monthly criticism is a constant encouragement and inspir- 
ation to all the Club members. 
For the past two and a half years, a Flower Study class 
has been conducted by Mr. Arthur Gunther of the Art In- 
stitute, the work being done outside and brought once a month 
for criticism. A detailed study is made of the growth and 
parts of the flower, separate motifs worked out, and this ma- 
terial developed into conventionalized flower designs. This 
direct study from nature develops original work in a degree 
impossible to obtain from the study of historic ornament. 
The Association has been most fortunate in retaining 
Miss Bennett and Mr. Gunther as instructors for the coming 
year. 
The club president was "at home" Mondays in August, 
to the members who could avail themselves of the opportunity 
to take trips in search of wild flowers, this supplied the "social" 
element and left the workers with delightful memories of 
mornings spent gathering flowers on the river banks and of 
afternoons in which they assembled on a large and most hospi- 
table porch, to make drawings from the flowers amid the most 
ideal surroundings. 
STUDIO NOTE 
Miss Amy F. Dalrymple of Boston has added to her 
Studio several interesting subjects in oil and water colors, 
representative of the picturesque "North Shore" of Massa- 
chusetts.
