offered at that season, but the Society's design classes are not 
closed until May 1st. It is believed that all will be amply re- 
paid who attend. All communications pertaining to the exhi- 
bition should be addressed to Chairman of Exhibition Commit- 
tee, Mrs. Elizabeth Roth, 436 Fort Washington Ave., New 
York City.

Photographs of the ceramics shown at the National So- 
ciety of Craftsmen's Exhibition, held at National Arts Club 
during December, were not sent to the Keramic Studio for pub- 
lication, because much of the work shown there will be found 
at the Keramic Society of Greater New York Exhibition. 
The National Society of Craftsmen has reorganized. The 
Governing Board and a small group of Art patrons interested 
in the craft movement have decided that the energy and funds 
which have in the past been required for the maintenance of 
the sales room, should be used in organizing and developing 
two important exhibitions during the year, to which members 
are requested to send their best and most representative work. 
It is the consensus of opinion that the sales made during these 
two exhibitions will far exceed the sum total of the sales made 
in the rooms of the Society during the entire twelve months of 
previous years. The Governing Board believes that the Soci- 
ety can best serve its members by making its'present headquar- 
ters in the National Arts Club Studios, 119 East 19th St., not 
only a clearing house through which orders for craft work may 
be placed, but in addition thereto, having it the center of many 
and varied activities, including special individual exhibits by 
members and master craftsmen, educational and social work, 
classes in the crafts, lectures, discussions and receptions to emi- 
nent craft workers from other Art centers in this country and 
abroad. A bureau of information will be one of the features, 
giving a list of reliable shops in this and other cities, where 
members may place their work on sale to best advantage, giv- 
ing full details as to commission, conditions, etc. It is the 
belief of our Governing Board that the Society is entering upon 
a new era of broadening influence and prosperity and the ear- 
nest co-operation of each member seems already assured. 
The National Society of Craftsmen is holding during Feb- 
ruary and March a large and extremely interesting exhibition 
in the Palace of Fine Arts, San Francisco, Calif. The officers 
of this institution have promised to purchase some of the craft 
work shown, with a view of making a permanent collection of 
the best modern work in this grand building. It has been con- 
clusively proven to the officers of the National Society of Crafts- 
men that the organization of such exhibits as has just been men- 
tioned are truly national in their scope and of vital importance 
to the craft workers.
