I’m off…heading to the coast and to Forage!

“Forage, a summit and symposium of the best sorts, will convene to address the creative processes and business practices of any and all Creatives out there including Artists & Designers, Crafters, DIYers, Foodies, Bloggers & Photographers! We’ll tackle the issues at the front of your mind through presentations, roundtable discussions and keynote speakers.”

Ah the BC air is filling my lungs and a quick trip to the beach has cured me of the stresses of the last few weeks of moving and fighting with my internet provider to try to get back online. I’m excited to be a part of Forage, an amazing event this week, and I’ll be posting updates (internet providing) so that you guys can all follow along with the fun. There will be  more art stars and creative types taking over Gabriola than you can shake a stick at so stay tuned….

a site 2 see friday: Field Guide for Ceramic Artisans

“The “Field Guide for Ceramic Artisans” is a website of information and resources developed to help and support students when they are finishing school.”

Thanks to Julia Galloway you can now find out all the dirt on pre graduation, post graduation, studio, kilns, exhibitions, documentation references, shipping work, and interviews. I wish this had been around when i graduated, heck I can still make use of it now!

Thanks Julia Galloway – we love you!

Janet DeBoos: An Interview by Jan Howlin

Hear Janet DeBoos talk about her experiences in
China. Jan Howlin visited Janet at her home and pottery in the
Brindabella Ranges west of Canberra and in this interview excerpt,
accompanied by a slideshow, Janet describes how she became the designer
of factory-produced ceramics, and how this involvement has radically
changed the work she makes. The interview is accompanied by images of
Janet’s home, studio, office and work taken by photographer Anthony
Browell.
