It is with regret that we are informing you that the 2020 Canadian Clay Symposium at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts on March 21, 2020 has been postponed. We look forward to presenting you with this year’s Perspectives in Canadian Ceramics in March of 2021 – details to be announced as soon as they are confirmed.
The Symposium attracts presenters and patrons from local, national and international locations and while we take pride in connecting people from many places through a shared love for ceramic art, due to travel restrictions and health concerns expressed by presenters and participants, we can no longer offer a quality symposium experience this year.
The Shadbolt Centre for the Arts will be processing full refunds – if you have not already withdrawn from this event, we respectfully request your patience with this process as it will take some time to contact each participant directly. If you have not heard from us by April 1st please feel free to contact the front desk at 604-297-4440 at that time.
We thank you for your understanding in this matter and look forward to seeing you in March 2021.

In light of the reality that many of our colleagues are scrambling to create online learning for their ceramics students, Studio Potter is offering a three-month free membership to ceramic departments or your school library. Our archive of over 8,000 pages of content will be accessable to professors and their students, and it is an excellent resource for remote ceramic education.
Any university or educational center affected by COVID-19 is eligible for the free three month membership. All students and faculty will access the journal under one log in for the three month period.
If you would like to take advantage of this offer, please have a faculty or staff member of your organization email Jess Detweiler at [email protected]. We will set up one account for each group. Include the following information in your email:
1. Your name
2. Your organization’s name
3. The email address you would like associated with the log in
4. Estimated number of students that will access the journal through this log in
Furthermore, we encourage you to give your students a writing assignment – Create an article for Studio Potter. You screen the submissions and send your top three to Jill Foote-Hutton at [email protected] for consideration. Selected student authors will be published on studiopotter.org and will receive a one year membership to Studio Potter.
Need some some suggestions for how to use Studio Potter as an educational resource? Look no further! Check out there blog update HERE.
Studio Potter remains committed to supporting our ceramics community. If you would like to help support our efforts, please donate to us today.

CMW is offering free online content, for all educators who are moving to online platforms for the remainder of the semester. Many schools are asking their faculty to move to an online format for the remainder of the term. This is leaving many studio art educators to scramble to figure out how to teach ceramics, online.
Hopefully we can offer you a little breathing room. We are providing our online workshop “Glaze of Our Lives”, for free to your students.
Glaze of Our Lives, is a series of of 23, online recorded lectures, explaining how and why glazes work. This is our online workshop, designed for students of all levels, from beginners on up. We start at the beginning and, go through materials, heat, cones, temperature, chemistry, colorants, glaze flaws, and that is just the beginning. It is over 12 hours of content, to give your students a new powerful perspective on materials and glazes.
How this works?
Contact us at info (at) ceramicmaterialsworkshop.com with your .edu email address and we’ll get you set up. Or visit ceramicmaterialsworkshop.com for more information and a preview video of one of the lectures.
Please share this info with other educators who may be interested.
