A Month of Ceramics @ Willock and Sax Gallery
Bradley Keys – Grounded
Reception, November 3, 3 to 5 pm
Artist Talk 3:30
Banff, Alberta:
November is once again the month to
focus on ceramics at the Willock & Sax Gallery. This year we
feature Bradley Keys, who explores the geography of Western Canada in Grounded. Our group show The Makings III
includes artists such as Ed Bamiling, Neil Liske, Robin Dupont, Emily
Schroeder Willis, Do-Hee Sung and many other ceramics artists. Join us
for Grounded and The Makings III at the Willock & Sax Gallery starting November 1 through to 30th.
Bradley Keys enjoys the interplay of his work with clay and the 3D
aspects of our surrounding geography. As we move within our
environment, so we interact with his works, taking in all the various
viewpoints and responses that involvement in place offers. The forms
and glazes of Bradley’s hand-built ceramic pieces incorporate the
rhythms and colors of the prairie and the mountains. This artist loves
the land and offers us opportunities to take a bit of it home to enjoy
and cherish.
Join us for the Reception at the Willock & Sax Gallery, 210 Bear St, in Banff on Saturday, November 3 from 3-5 pm.

Artist Talks: 3:30
The Makings III continues our annual gallery’s focus on ceramics
during the month of November. Once again we offer a wide variety of
sculptural and functional ceramic works from a wide range of artists
from across Alberta and other parts. Works by young artists and
significant pieces from some of Canadian most senior artists make up the
exhibition this year, including a number of historic exhibits by Luke
Lindoe RCA.
Les Manning
Gallery Talks
The Artist and The Curator
Saturday, November 24, 3-5 pm
As part of our Month of Ceramics and coinciding with the November
24 reception for the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies exhibition
“Les Manning Common/Opposite“
(November 7-December 5),
we are pleased to have Les Manning and Joanne Marion (curator, Esplanade) speaking about the exhibition and ceramics in general at our gallery.
Continue the discussion down Bear Street at the Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies reception at 7 pm.
Manning’s new works show a rich emotional and metaphorical register
while drawing deeply upon his personal experiences and knowledge of
Canada’s lands. Juxtaposing forms, textures and colours, Manning evokes
the monumental reach of modernism as an artistic endeavour. Playful
references to the humble objects of everyday lighten his sophisticated
and contemporary appreciation of the more base aspects of nature, to
reveal the rich and contradictory poetry of our ordinary world.

Craft Creativity & Design.
Clark is considered by many to be one of the great contemporary
critics and writers in the field of ceramics. South African by birth,
he has lived in the US since the mid nineteen-seventies. He ran
galleries in LA and NYC with his partner Mark del Vecchio for thirty
years. He has been a prolific writer and advocate of ceramics in all
its forms, and has lectured all over the world.
Topics for Discussion:
• Recap of previous two events in Charlotte and Raleigh
• Education as it relates to makers moving to the region; educational opportunities here and elsewhere
• Philosophy of the craft of ceramics; what is special about ceramic traditions in WNC
• Current market issues in our region
From Matt Jones’ blog:
“The following events have been the result of a blog I started a year
ago challenging Garth Clark’s views presented in his provocative
address of 2008 titled “How Art Envy Killed the Craft Movement: An
Autopsy in Two Parts.” My primary point of course has been that at
least in the state of NC, the craft movement still lives perhaps even
thrives, particularly in the field of ceramics. Garth will visit to
learn more about our state’s ceramic heritage and inform us about his
view as a critic looking at the challenges that potters and ceramic
artists face in the twenty-first century. These programs will be lively
and informative for all who work in clay or appreciate and collect
pottery and ceramic art. “

Charlotte Brown Wainwright.
October 18th at the Gregg Museum in Raleigh
