KERAMIC STUDIO

- [Continued from page 91] 
'Art Structure' which embraces the general principles of design, 
such as line harmony, spacing, proportion, rhythm, dark and 
light in two and more values; color in theory and practice; vari- 
ations and original designs; exercises with brush and ink, char- 
coal, colored crayons and water color. Those wishing to have 
a thorough knowledge of the fundamental principles of design 
— whether beginners or more advanced workers — will find this 
course of great benefit. 
"In addition to these lessons, Prof. Cornell will give two 
mornings at the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the study of 
exhibits connected with the class work. 
"Mr. Fry, who has had wide experience in ceramics and the 
applied arts, will give a course of fifteen lessons. The aim of 
this class will be the study of overglaze ceramics, table linens 
and kindred subjects, from the viewpoint of interior decoration. 
One of the features of the course will be a series of illustrations, 
or demonstrations of the Art of Table Decoration. Mr. Fry 
has in preparation a number of schemes of linens and other 
accessories which will be shown to illustrate the application of 
fine art to Table Arrangement, and to stimulate the class to 
original work along the same line. This course should prove 
particularly helpful to those who have had previous experience 
in decorating porcelain, and wish to continue the study still fur- 
ther. 
"Members of the Society may attend one or both classes 
without extra charge. 
"Those wishing to join the Society as active members may 
be required to submit three pieces of original work, if requested, 
to be passed upon by the Committee on Admissions. This does 
not apply to those wishing to become Associate members. All 
applications for membership should be made to Miss Lorena 
Wilson, Chairman Committee on Admissions, 485 Westminster 
Road, Brooklyn, New York." 
It is with great regret that we hear of the death of Mr. 
Arthur H. Abbott of the art material firm of Abbott & Co., of 
Chicago. Mr. Abbott was the founder of this, the oldest house 
in that line in Chicago, and by his sterling qualities had built 
up a business that has a world wide reputation for honorable 
dealing. We are told that the business will be conducted as 
usual.
