SYRACUSE, NEW YORK 
March, 1907 
ERAMIC Studio presents in this 
number the work of Miss Mar- 
garet Overbeck of De Pauw Uni- 
versity, Greencastle, Indiana. 
Our old subscribers who have 
seen designs from her pen from 
time to time in our pages will be 
glad to see more from the same 
source, and we are sure those 
who are new to Keramic Studio 
will be pleased to make her acquaintance. 
The subject of the next Class Room will be "Flower 
Painting" under which heading will be included the sub- 
divisions: Roses, white, pink, and crimson; Violets; Daf- 
fodils; Nasturtiums; Geraniums; Pansies; Forget-me-nots. 
Other flowers, white, pink, crimson, violet, purple, blue, 
yellow, orange and red. Miniature flowers. To be re- 
ceived not later than March 15th. For list of prizes see 
back cover. 
Subscribers who wish any special subject to be taken 
up in the Class Room will please notify the editor. 
The May issue of Keramic Studio will be devoted to 
the work of Marshal Fry of New York and his pupils. 
September will be a water color number from the 
studio of Mrs. Teana McLennon Hinman of New York, 
though treatments of the flower studies will be given also 
in mineral colors. November will be a naturalistic number 
from the clever, brush of Miss Jeanne Stewart of Chicago. 
The designs published in February under the name 
"Virginia" are by Miss Marion H. Nelson of St. Catherines, 
Ontario, Canada. 
In the account of the National Society of Craftsmen 
exhibition in New York, in our February number, one of 
the bowls was by mistake attributed to Miss Mason. This 
bowl, the central one in the group, is by Mrs. C. B. Dore- 
mus of Bridgeport, Conn. 
We call attention to the editorial note in Crafts depart- 
ment, suggesting that designers submit to us designs for 
the different crafts as well as for china decoration. 
LEAGUE NOTES 
The vase designs are coming in slowly, too slowly, 
because there is still the March problem to be criticised, re- 
turned, painted upon the bowl, and then sent back for ex- 
hibition. This year the exhibition should show the value 
of our monthly problems by correspondence. Do not 
hesitate to send your designs, no matter how crude or 
limited. Ideas that take tangible shape, intelligible to 
the critic, are made practical for application. 
The "Farrington" punch bowl, a new and most inter- 
esting shape, was difficult to manufacture, and the price 
necessarily too high to take the risk of possible damage in 
transportation. The advisory board substituted bowl 579^, 
manufactured by the Willetts Manufacturing Co., Trenton, 
N. J. For this bowl, instead of a specified motif for design, 
we suggest that it be treated in the Colonial style, that is, 
panels, bands ornamented with little clusters of flowers, 
etc., with the following color -scheme: coral pink, laven- 
der, purple, a light and dark blue, light and dark green, 
and dahlia colors. 
We are gladdened by these additions to our member- 
ship roll. Mrs. Bird S. George, Greely, Colo; Mrs. Sallie 
Patchin, Wayland, N. Y; Miss Maude M. Lapham, Spring- 
field, Mo. and Mrs. Anna Bogenholm Sloane, Principal depart- 
ment of Arts and Crafts, of the Washington, D. C, School 
of Decorative, Industrial, and Fine Arts. 
Belle Barnett Vesey, Pres. 
A vase designed by lone Wheeler of Chicago and made 
by the Belleek factory, has been chosen by the National 
League of Mineral Painters for their traveling exposition 
for the coming year.

STUDIO NOTES 
We hear with great regret that Mrs. T. McLennon 
Hinman 's studio in New York has been destroyed by fire 
and that she is suffering from the shock. We hope she 
will promptly recover and resume her excellent work as 
teacher and water colorist. We call attention to her 
advertisement in which she offers to sell her china studies 
at $1 each, and pictures at $2 each. All these studies are 
more or less damaged but will not lose their value for 
students who wish to reproduce them either on china or 
in water colors, and we trust that there will be prompt 
response to that advertisement from many of our sub- 
scribers. Mrs. Magill and Miss Ivory, the importers and 
decorators, who had their studio and shop in the same 
building as Mrs. Hinman, had their stock also seriously 
injured by the fire. 
Miss M. Helen E. Montfort, after a busy season in her 
studio, 318 Lenox Avenue, New York, will sail for Italy 
on March 9th, to be gone for a stay of seven months. On 
her return in October, she intends to reopen her studio 
at the same address. 
Mrs. A. Neble announces the opening of a studio at 
Room 2 in the Conservative Building, 16 14 Harney Street, 
Omaha, Neb., additional to her residence studio. 
SHOP NOTE 
We acknowledge with thanks the receipt of an artistic 
calendar from L. Reusche & Co., New York,
