Abstract
We are very lucky that this dynamic organization is full of members who support the clay community in so many different ways.Over the years, we have been able to recognise some of those tireless supporters by offering a lifetime membership in the Guild.This year it is with great pleasure that we offer our appreciation to two members: Robert Weghsteen and Carol Mayer.Robert Weghsteen studied ceramics in 1949-50 at the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London, England.At that time the only reference book on pottery was "The Potters Book" by Bernard Leach.So it is not surprising that he was influenced by Leach, but he was also stirred by the work of Picasso and the colourful southern European maiolica work.In 1956 Robert decided to move to Vancouver and shipped all his equipment, including his kilns, via the Panama Canal.Robert taught for 8 years at the Vancouver School of Art.Some of his better known students were Wayne Ngan, Tam Irving, Don Hutchinson, Heinz Laffin and Jean Fahrni, amongst many others.Robert felt that teaching was taking too much of his time and chose to spend more time on his art.He had a one-man show

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
