technical tuesday: some things seem so obvious once you see them…
Plastic wrap over the clay before you cut to get smooth edges, plus the clay doesn’t stick to your tool.

Hindsight/Foresight
The
Canadian Crafts Federation / Fédération canadienne des métiers d’art is
proud to present Hindsight/Foresight, our first annual Contemporary
Craft Symposium. The Symposium brings together professional voices
from across the country for a discussion on their past, present and
future, and the influences that have affected their careers.
As the title suggests, speakers will
explore their own personal histories and their plans for the future.
They will explore the effect national recognition and other milestones
have had on their practice, and their impressions of contemporary Craft
in general.
Hindsight/Foresight
is intended to fuel interest in Contemporary Craft practice and
showcase the broad range within the field. Each speaker is a recipient
of the Bronfman Award. The presentations and discussions will celebrate
the community of excellence recognized by the Saidye Bronfman
Foundation, (now one of eight Governor General’s Visual Arts Awards)
which highlights the best in Canadian visual art each year with a
$25,000 award. With this common thread, the speakers and moderator will
discuss not only the development of Craft in general, but the impact of
recognition and awards on the local, national and international
community.

Each
speaker comes from a different material practice, including ceramics,
metal and wood. Their experiences intersect and diverge across the
spectrum of Craft, with both shared and unique experiences throughout
their esteemed careers. The perspectives presented on practice and the
purpose of Craft will preface a panel discussion where audience members
have the chance to ask questions and be engaged in the debates. This is
a key focus of the Canadian Crafts Federation / Fédération canadienne
des métiers d’art, whose annual activity regularly focuses on sharing,
collaboration, awareness and appreciation of Craft with our regional
partners, the Provincial and Territorial Craft Councils across Canada.
