                  We are 
                    sorry to announce the death of Frederick Michael 'Mick' Casson 
                    who died on 12th December 2003. Born in 1925, Mick was one 
                    of the most important potters of the twentieth century, hugely 
                    respected both for his pots and his role as an educationalist. 
                    
                  NEVAC 
                    conducted a filmed interview with Mick in September 1995. 
                    He was also a member of NEVAC's advisory board since its inception 
                    in 1992. Mick will be greatly missed by the countless people 
                    whose lives he touched.
