Parallel Journeys: Two Mentorships

A bunch of us (20 like-minded potters) are showing our most recent ceramic work that we created as part of a Mentorship Program with Angelo diPetta and Bruce Cochrane. Check out this group exhibition of the Fusion Clay & Glass Association at the Ontario Crafts Council Gallery at 990 Queen St W, Toronto. The opening reception is on Thursday 9 July 2012, 6-9pm. And what a surprise for me: my photo made it onto the invitation! Please join us for the reception.

Metal/Mettle/Meddle

I was busy Monday night photographing my new work in preparation for an exhibition in August (more to follow!). They are porcelain vessels decorated with metal salts and glazed with celadon.

Ruins! 16 June 2012, Newburgh

It sounds awful to mention the word ruin and art in the same sentence! It can either make you think of fabulous cultural riches that have been decimated, or the cultural treasures of antiquity! Or neither, in this case...Art Among the Ruins is a fabulous art event set in the beautiful ruins of an old mill in Newburgh on Saturday 16 June 2012 (10am-5pm). Join us for art, music, and a great family day in the ppogarden!

Casting a new light!

Literally. I am in the middle of a new project. It involves making moulds, slip casting vessel forms and decorating them with metal salts.

The result is fragile, thin, objects that transmit light (seen here on an illuminated plinth).

It is part of the mentorship project at Fusion. Stay tuned for more...
