Some of the artist's knives have been purchased commercially, but several have been made by him, including one which he has adapted from a farrier's knife. They are all extremely sharp, and without absolute control in their use, could quickly slip and ruin a project. Hatzl creates a broad range of subjects, including bowls, platters, trays, candy dishes and ladies, all of which are both utilitarian as well as beautiful. One unusual bowl had marvelous owl heads at each end.

Another bowl was carved to resemble a huge walnut, with a hinged cover, so that when closed it was a nut. Some of the bowls are inlaid with Abalone shell. From a purely decorative point of view, his wall plaques, hangings and totem poles are inspired, many of the former depicting the intriguing creatures of Indian myths. One is struck by the balance and symmetry of these designs. It is in the realm of carved coffee tables that Ted surpasses himself, spending 150 to 200 hours in their creation.

The artist is always interested in undertaking unusual and challenging commissions. One which he completed some time ago was a miniature Viking Ship, done to exact scale by following museum photographs of these vessels. Even the long oars, some 36 in number, were each By Joanna Jansen Ted Hatzl is a man whose love for wood has lead him to create a wonderful range of subjects in this medium. "Even as a child," he sayr, "I was making bird houses and other projects out of wood." However, it was not until 1976 that his truly creative talent was awakened when he met an Indian carver who began to show Hatzl the finer techniques. A little later, he was fortunate to have some lessons from another In-dian carver, Roy Hanuse, who has done some fine work for UBC.

Born in this area, Hatzl is familiar with all our local woods of which yellow cedar is one of his favorites, though he uses white and sugar pine frequently. For particular projects, he will search out European or tropical woods, which are readily available through several sources. Everything, however, is grist to the mill, as Hatzl is in the process of making a chess set out of, believe it or not, old broom handles which he scrounges from his friends. Most of these handles are made of ash which, though a fairly hard wood, apparently creates no difficulty for the artist. His tools, after the in-tial use of a band saw to cut the pattern or shape, consists of some 10 or 12 variously shaped knives, made of the best quality steel.

Stainless steel is not adequate, as it loses from Vancouver Island, one of only two Canadian members of the prestigious American Watercolor Society, will present several paintings, as will Jim deGoede and Britton Francis. It is seldom that the public has an opportunity to view the work of such a formidable slate. The work of Harty should be of particular interest, as he has recently spent a year working with Clarence Tillenius in the production of murals for the Museum of Man and Nature, in Winnipeg. He is an aide to Jan Sharkey Thomas as an assistant instructor at the Clarence Tillenius Wildlife Drawing Class. Harty has done a number of projects for the Saskatchewan Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, and has completed 70 illustrations for the National Museum in Ottawa.

As well as studying under Tillenius, Harty attended the Art Students League of New York and worked under Robert Lougheed in Sante Fe, New Mexico. He is a member of the Society of Animal Arts in New York, and shows bi-annually with their exhibition. To single out a few of the exciting works that will be on display, mention should be made of a sculpture of a short-tailed weasel, done in white alabaster, with black soapstone eyes and tail tip, by Vera B. Hynes. Beebe has a marvelous life-size Rufous Hummingbird, with jade wings, fire agate throat and adverturine forehead.

DeGoede has a small, charming study of a Canada goose, and a painting called "Favorite Place" which is 'different' to say the least. Harty has done a very fine elk, and Peter THE FILBERT PLAYERS AT This oil painting of B.C. wildlife, by one of several planned for the current Chilliwack Art Galleries. Holding it is Don Sawatsky's pair of western teenagers are as only that artist can carve them. The Golden Palette Club held the first of its four or five yearly shows at the Cultus Lake Community Hall, last Saturday and Sunday, April 17 and 18.

This club, which has been in existence for some nine years, is limited to some 25 members of all ages, with the result that it has a waiting list of those who wish to join. The club feels that a larger membership becomes unwieldy, particularly for its painting sessions, eveyr Tuesday at Cultus Lake. Members are from Sardis, Yarrow, Chilliwack, Cultus Lake, and at times, have been from much further afield. Two club members, Edna Fotheringham and Constance Thornton, give instruction in painting techniques to novice members. In discussing club projects with these ladies, one senses the tremendous enthusiasm of the members and the feeling of togetherness which the members achieve in coming to the Tuesday painting sessions.

The work displayed covered a wide range of subject, although flowers were a large percentage of the pictures on view. Two unusual items were an old milk can painted with a Dutch rural scene by Henny DeRegt, and a gold pan depicting a northern scene, by Doris Lupien. Among the artists showing, to name but a few, were Dorothy Jackson, Mary Moody, Andi Roste, Winnie Hutt (this year's club president), Ella Blom and Mary Stewart Hall, as well as Edna Fotheringham and Constance Thornton.
