A meeting of 2d and 3d pots:
“Image and Object”
Steve Harrison and Roxanne Lillis
Tuesday 25th October to Saturday 5th November
Official Opening: Saturday 29th October 4-6pm
Steve Harrison has been creating ceramics of great subtlety and beauty for over 40 years. He makes objects of contemplation and beauty with subtle, simple lines and great charm. These pieces are created from only the local rocks, shales and ashes that he collects from his immediate locality in the Southern Highlands. These are then hand sorted and ground to provide the bodies and glazes used here. His work is gently woodfired to create subtle fired surfaces that suggest softness and depth. His work shows some oriental characteristics that have been influenced by his time spent travelling and studying in Japan and china as well as Europe.
Roxanne Lillis These are precious objects from a familiar world. In this body of work I attempt to express or exemplify something intuitive. Obvious, yet elusive. They are at once recognisable however possess a changing aesthetic when grouped with other objects or portrayed as a solitary form. My painting endeavours to capture the love of their making, with adjustments of composition, scale, and the use of negative space, using a subtle palette.

A loss to our community: Obituary – BOB REIMER
Bob Reimer passed away October 20th at the age of 57. Born August. 11, 1954, in Steinbach Manitoba, Bob lived most of his life in British Columbia before moving to Calgary in 1980 to start his family and ceramics career. He leaves behind three children; Julia, Peter and Angela, four grand-children, his former partner and best friend Jeannie, a community of friends, colleagues and students. Bob was known as a passionate, loving, talented and humorous individual, an asset to the ceramics community and a beloved teacher. He touched many lives. He will be remembered fondly, and thought of daily. No words can describe the grief we are all feeling while coping with this sudden loss. We take comfort in knowing he did not suffer, he was happy and loved by many. A special thanks for all the support received from friends and family.

On exhibit until October 31st – The Beat goes on – Teresa Gagne
Art and music are universal languages. Making pottery and music are primal, therapeutic ways of expressing ourselves. By using clay to make musical instruments, two forms of ancient expression are combined in a contemporary fashion. The first percussion instruments probably were two rocks or sticks banged together. Ceramic instruments were made and used in ceremonies and rituals for millennium. It is an honour to fashion instruments with clay (decomposed rock), and carry on the traditions of our ancestors.
