Visiting Artist Lecture – Candice Ring
Wednesday, May 19 | 12:00 noon
Ceramics Studio
Candice Ring’s visit is sponsored by the Ceramics Club.
There is no cost to attend the lecture – everyone is welcome.
“My passion for creating ceramic vessels stems from my reflection of the historical context from which they were inspired and the likeness of the imprint that they leave today. My pieces serve as a tool to initiate an experience of use, as a visual and functional language to connect with the user.”
Candice Ring received her BFA in Ceramics from the University of Manitoba, where she worked in a technical capacity for three years following graduation. Having sought out new and interesting opportunities, Candice accepted a position at Red Deer College in Red Deer, Alberta and worked in the ceramics department while maintaining her studio practice. She has exhibited nationally and internationally and has participated in residencies in Australia, the United States and Canada and has taught several workshops in Alberta and Manitoba. She is currently pursuing her MFA in Ceramics at Arizona State University.

Since 1992 the Clay Studio’s Guest Artist-in-Residence program has hosted artists from over thirty five countries including Anquilla, Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, The Czech Republic, England, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Iran, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Jamaica, Japan, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Mexico, Peru, Puerto Rico, Romania, Russia, Sweden, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, Wales, and the United States. The Guest Artist-in-Residence Program provides:
- a 12 x 12 ft. studio on The Clay Studio’s third floor
- an apartment across the street
- a materials and firing stipend of up to $200
- and a $500 a month living stipend.
Residencies vary from 4 to 8 weeks, but both shorter and longer residencies have occurred to accommodate an artist’s schedule or to allow for a larger project. Some technical assistance is provided, but this program is designed for artists to work independently.

Roswitha Wulff + guest potters Neil Fenning & Peter Thompson Massive Pottery Sale
Sunday, May 16th ———- 10 am – 6 pm
5 Underwood, Botany —– Tel. 0432-521-470
How many women in Sydney own a wood splitter and sing at the opera house?
For the first time in six years well known Sydney potter Roswitha Wulff is offering her pot-
tery for sale at her Botany studio along with the works of guest potters Peter Thompson
from Kuranda and Neil Fenning of Sydney. The quantity of pottery available is massive
and the quality is top drawer … electric, reduction and wood-fired processes are all repre-
sented.
As a result of years of creativity and experimentation a wide range of sublime functional
pottery including bowls, mugs, plates, and vases will be available, as well as Roswitha’s
unique modular wall pieces similar in concept to that commissioned by the St. Vincent’s
Hospital. Those familiar with Roswitha’s pottery will be excited by her new colours and
surfaces.
Peter Thompson’s sculptural vessels relating to his interest in folklore and the environment
are evidenced by his recent A. D. Gill pieces. The ash deposited by the wood-fired kiln en-
livens the surfaces of Peter’s ceramics as well as other pottery included in this exceptional
event.
When finished wood-firing her pottery, Roswitha Wulff will be singing ‘Songs for Shakespeare’ with fellow Sydney Philharmonic Festival Chorus members May 14th, and 15th at the Sydney Opera House.

Where i’ve been hiding…
I realize it’s been a while since I actually wrote anything on the blog other than calls for entry. So much for the new years resolution, I know. Since getting back from setting up and opening my exhibition in Quebec at Centre Materia, it’s been a whirlwind of productivity around here.
See i signed myself up to do four sales in two months. I know not much for some market professionals, but for a novice like me, well there’s been a learning curve to say the least. So i’ve been in the studio focusing on my more commercial line of functional wares. It’s been a ton of fun though too.
Not too much to share in that vein, but if you haven’t heard yet I’m heading off to Medicine Hat for a residency for the month of July and will be elbow deep in some more figurative pieces so keep your eyes peeled for that. I hope to do a bit more writing about process and technique and give you some behind the scenes glimpses as well.
In the meantime here’s a few pics of the last kiln load of functional work ready for sale.
Oooh another of my favorites and me with no time/money to get there…
DIANA FAYT
Nature on the Surface
June 4 – 6 | Friday – Sunday | 10AM – 4PM
$450 for a three day workshop Using simple three dimensional forms students will explore composition and drawing on the form, taking into consideration all aspects of the three dimensional surface and not be limited by edges and boundaries. Diana’s daily demonstrations will include using molds to build simple forms, surface applications such as layering of slips and underglazes to create rich fields of color, drawing on and in the clay, the use of oxides, firing and tips and tricks to obtaining clean crisp lines in clay. Diana will also discuss and demonstrate other ceramic mediums and processes to create rich and interesting surfaces on your three dimensional forms, using things like cardboard letter stencils and old letterpress typeface, as well as how to transfer your images onto clay surfaces without sophisticated drawing skills. During her demonstrations, Diana will discuss elements of design, how to push the boundaries and see your pieces as limitless surfaces for expressing your visual ideas.Details of workshop here.
