June, 1907 
UNE being the month of Roses, 
we again present our subscribers 
with roses naturalistic, and roses 
conventional. We have not been 
able to procure always just the 
sort of rose study we would like 
but trust that in such a varied 
collection something will be found 
that will appeal to each and 
every one. 
The July issue of Keramic Studio will be devoted to 
the work of Mrs. Marie Crilley Wilson, one of our cleverest 
designers. September Keramic Studio will be edited by 
Mrs. Teana McLennon Hinman. November Keramic 
Studio by Miss Jeanne Stewart.

Painting." Articles must be sent in by July 5th. The 
special prize of $10.00 will be awarded to any especially 
good article, otherwise the prizes will be as usual, $5.00,

APPLE BLOSSOMS (Supplement by F. B. Aulich) 
' Sara Wood Safford* 
FLOWERS— Violet, Yellow and Pearl Grey mixed in 
the brush for the soft grey shadows. Rose with a 
touch of Yellow on the lighter pink petals, shaded with 
Rose and American Beauty at the tips. Use a touch of 
Ruby with Rose in the buds. 
Use Violet with all the greens in the first painting, 
Yellow Green, Apple Green, Shading Green and Dark 
Green. Use a touch of Blood Red with Dark Green in 
painting the stems. In the very darkest tones use Black 
with Dark Green. 
For second fire wash with pure color: Rose over 
delicate pink parts; American Beauty over deeper tones, 
and Yellow in the hearts of the blossoms, shadowed with 
Yellow Brown and a touch of Brown Green. The foliage 
and background should have soft clear washes of greens, 
using Yellow Green in warm parts and Shading and Dark 
Green when tones are darker and cooler. 
For third firing the sharp details should be added, 
the deeper touch of Ruby in flower or bud, the vein in the 
leaf, the depth to the stem, and a wash of Pearl Grey over 
parts of design and background to pull all together. 
* Mr. Aulich being in Europe, it was impossible to have a treatment 
from him for the apple blossom study and Mrs. Safford has kindly written 
for us the above treatment. (Pub.) 
CLUB NOTE 
The Arts and Crafts Department of the School 
of Decorative, Industrial and Fine Arts of Washington, 
D. C. will next year include pottery making in its curric- 
ulum. Mrs. Belle Barnett Vesey, of Chicago, will have 
full charge of the Department of Ceramics, and will instruct 
in form building and designing for pottery, and ceramics 
in general, as well as actual making of pottery, under and 
overglaze and majolica decorating on pottery and over- 
glaze decorating on porcelain. 
Classes in ceramics are already forming and indica- 
tions are very favorable for this department. Mrs. Vesey 
will take charge October 1st and we are very fortunate 
indeed to secure her as a member of our Faculty. For the 
last three years Mrs. Vesey has been the President of the 
Mineral League of National Painters. She is not only a 
good ceramist but an able artist and noted educator as 
well, and from the Nation's Capitol her influence will be 
felt throughout the country.

STUDIO NOTE 
Mrs. Vance Phillips will, on July 8th, open for the 
twelfth season, her popular ceramic school at Chautauqua, 
N. Y. Mrs. M. E. Perley, who, before the earthquake, had 
the finest studio in San Francisco, will assist her and her 
presence in Chautauqua this year is expected to bring an 
unusually large attendance, as she is considered an excep- 
tional teacher. 
We have received the following letter which will be of 
interest to our readers : 
Dear Friends — It is now a little over a year since our city was 
destroyed, every member of our Club meeting with severe losses. 
We felt that there was no future for china painters for many years, but 
the Club is again as active as before the disaster, and feel that much of their 
present success is due to our Eastern friends, who so generously came to our 
assistance. The replacement of all the "Keramic Studios", is a lasting benefit 
and one we shall never forget. 
We would like to again thank all those who helped to place us once more 
upon our feet. The Chicago workers reached out a helping hand immediately 
and sent colors, brushes and china donated by different Chicago firms and 
many studies, both water colors and prints. 
The "Atlan Club" sent many tracings of beautiful designs representing 
hours of labor and which we greatly appreciated, and a large number of 
studies were also received from individual members. One of the most touch- 
ing donations was that from Mr. F. B. Aulich, who painted six beautiful rose 
plates, and a large vase, after he, himself.had lost the entire exhibit that he 
had here at the time. 
These studies have been very helpful to everyone and have been kept in 
the club rooms accessible to all. Another donation that was greatly appre- 
ciated by all, was one hundred boxes of gold from Mr. Hasburg of Chicago, 
it came at a time when gold could not be bought here, and was more than 
welcome. 
Besides all this assistance, donations of fifty dollars each were received 
from the National League of Mineral Painters, The Mineral Art League of 
Boston, and the New York Society of Keramic Art. This made it possible 
for our Club to maintain a studio club room and also to remit one half the 
yearly dues and have a balance still in the treasury. 
It is with great pleasure that we assure all our kind friends of our appre- 
ciation, and wish they could all see how firmly we are again established, and 
receiving generous patronage from lovers of our work. 
It would be a favor if you would publish this, so we might in this way 
have our sincere thanks extended to all who so generously aided us. 
Yours sincerely. 
California Keramic Club 
Per S. V. Culp.
