Northern BC Clayfest

Join us in Prince George for our third Northern BC Clayfest, August 9, 10 & 11, 2012! This exciting event offers you the opportunity to learn about advanced clay techniques from some of the world’s renowned potters. You can network with your fellow artists and meet our exciting workshop presenters. We are hosting four acclaimed clay artists to present two days of techniques. Presenters will also provide a 45 minute slide show or video along with their demonstrations for the benefit of the participants.

2012 Clayfest includes an evening social event, co-hosted by Two Rivers Gallery. At the Wine and Cheese Reception you will get to meet our presenters and view work from members of the Prince George Potters’ Guild. Two Rivers Gallery will be hosting a juried show of members’ work for the month of August based on the theme “Profiles”. Both functional and non-functional pottery will be featured. To help with the costs of this event, we will have a “Mug Wall” where you can purchase mugs from your fellow potters. Please be sure to bring your own mug to contribute to this fundraiser.

During the workshop, you will have the opportunity to browse and purchase from the works of the visiting presenters and your fellow artisans. Other displays will include:

  • Pottery suppliers
  • Clayfest Mug Wall
  • Silent Auction
  • Souvenir items
  • The Clayfest Marketplace will also have an small selection of beverages and snacks for purchase.

Ryan Greenheck and Nick Joerling @ Santa Fe Clay


Until May 26th
Ryan Greenheck and Nick Joerling are two functional potters who will share the gallery at Santa Fe Clay this spring.

Ryan Greenheck’s work combines a meticulous, detailed aesthetic with pure function. His luminous glazes meld perfectly with the white porcelain clay. He makes his home in Philadelphia.

Nick Joerling throws and alters his stoneware forms creating loose, fluid pots that invite use and handling. His pots combine “qualities of sensuality, empathy, humor and risk.” He has long been associated with the crafts community that makes their home in Penland, NC.
