Look at your label
In May of last year, a number of our
subscribers received a subscription
renewal notice, which was placed in-
side the paper to save on mailing costs.
However, the company in charge of
our mailing may have made some
mistakes. It seems that some sub-
scribers, who were all paid up, received
a notice, while others, who had not
paid for their 1992 subscription, did
not. Consequently, over 400 subscrib-
ers have yet to pay for their 1992 sub-
scription.
Before sending out new renewal
notices, we are asking our subscribers

Lately we have been receiving quite
a lot of copy, mostly poetry and short
stories, for publication. Unfortunately
we have not been able to make room for
all of it in our paper. The material is
being kept on file and will be published
as soon as space allows. In the mean-
to look at the mailing label attached to
the top right comer of their paper. If it
indicates that your subscription will
expire before July 31, 1992 (92/07)
then please submit payment as soon as
possible. However, subscribers who
have paid within the last two months
should be wamed that their mailing
label may not have been updated yet,
but will be within days.
We greatly appreciate your support
in this matter, and encourage our over-.
due subscribers to fill out the form on

ment to our office.

time, we ask our writers, whom we
could not do without, not to fret. Your
poetry, stories and articles will soon be
appearing in our paper. We are very
grateful for these submissions, and wish
to use this opportunity to extend our
thanks to all our loyal contributors.
Inga Torfadóttir’s contribution to the exhibition is in the form of
twisted teapots, which she refers to as “Ðancing Dwarfs.” Alison
Gillmor, who wrote a review of the show for the Winnipeg Free
Press, describes Inga’s “FairyTale Teapots”as havingan “animated
feel to them.” She explains how the artist “takes the staid, stable,
Victorian notion of a teapot and gives it eccentric spin—a shift in
scale and a dangerous sense Of motion.” Inga’s teapots, which do,
in fact, look like rounded, happy little dwarfs, are stoneware, and
although intended as decorative pieces, are functional.
“I fínd working with porcelain very exciting,” says Inga. “It gives
me an opportunity to work with colours--making the process
challenging and creative, Most of my functional ware is made of
porcelain. Working in stoneware is no less challenging; most of my
decorative pieces are made with that material.”
Ingamoved to to Canada in 1976andhaslivedin Winnipeg since
1980. Through the years, she has taught pottery courses at the
Stoneware Gallery on Corydon in Winnipeg, and adult and chil-
dren’s courses at the Winnipeg Art Gallery.
There is an excellent opportunity to view or buy some of Inga’s
work at the Stoneware Gallery’s Annual Spring Sale, May 7-9.

Wo need more news
We are receiving a lot of creative
writing from our contributors, but very
little in the way of news. What we do
need more of is news from the Icelandic
communities in North America, and
news of Icelanders where ever they
may be.
Writing an article can be a really
enjoyable challenge. So why not try
your hand at it. But please try submit-
ting typewritten copy, as we often have
great difficulty deciphering long, hand-
written articles.
