Blogging Your Way!
BYW Boot Camp is NOW ENROLLING and will run from October 5 – November
2, 2012! This exciting idea-packed class is for both Blogging Your Way
and BYW 2.0 students. It’s loaded with blogging inspiration, interviews,
ideas and both new and updated materials so you can build on what
you’ve learned in previous classes. Learn more about the BYW BOOT CAMP here.
Our current three workshops, Blogging Your Way (for beginners), Blogging Your Way 2.0
(for intermediate to advanced) and Blogging Your Way Boot Camp (NEW!
For all bloggers big and small!) bring a creative, personal approach to
blogging that you won’t find in other classes simply because most blog
courses only focus on the technical aspects – something you can learn on
your own for free. Our e-courses guide you as you begin to get
in touch with why you want to blog, what your intentions are, how you
should approach online networking and community building, what makes a
blog a “success” and shows you how to use your blog as a catalyst to
create your best life. In fact, using your blog as a catalyst to live
your best life is at the very core of what we teach.
Our online courses are packed with hundreds of
helpful tips, feedback, visuals, inspiration and ideas that will guide
you on your blogging journey. These self-paced password protected
e-courses and forums venture beyond the boring basics. You will learn
from the pros in a supportive environment amongst friends with plenty of
opportunity to meet and network without feeling overwhelmed or
overlooked.

This
show was inspired by a visit to a remote abandoned Saskatchewan town
called Bents. While the buildings, in their various states of decay,
were a testament to a bygone rural era, the most amazing part of being
there was looking at the artefacts that had been left. There were shoes
on the shelf in the store, a pair of glasses, personal mail in the
mailroom at the back of the store, furniture, hardware and rusted farm
machinery. It was fascinating. It seemed as though a place like this
would have been vandalized and pilfered in any other part of the
country. I wondered about the story of the folks who lived there, why
the town (and other towns like it) were abandoned.
“The Bents Cup
Project” was conceived as a response to this sentiment. The cups are
free souvenirs for the town. They have been placed on the shelves in
the General Store building with the hopes that visitors will take a cup
rather than an object that has been left in the town. The work for this
show was made during a month long self-directed residency at Medalta
International Artist Residency in Medicine Hat Alberta. The majority of
the mugs in the show are the iconic Medalta diner cup. The cups (and
other objects in the show) were made largely from moulds and other
technology that was used at the height of factory production as well as
glazed ware.
Please note since the mugs have been placed in the
town, the majority of the cups have been taken by visitors. The
buildings, particularly the general store where the cups were placed,
have deteriorated significantly in recent months. Travel to Bents is
not encouraged.
Special thanks must go to the Saskatchewan Arts Board for supporting this project/exhibition.
