I’m super excited to announce that I’ll be in Ottawa this May teaching! Really hope you can join me at this incredible clay studio for an evening of talking online presence and social media.
LOAM will have the pleasure to welcome Carole Epp to the studio for a Master Class like no other.
Want to effectively use the internet to drive your career in the arts? Then this workshop is for you! Carole will teach you how to map out and establish an online presence that is both efficient and effective for creatives. We’ll begin with the solid foundation of a portfolio based website that anyone can build and then expand to include a number of social media sites and how to maintain and optimize them. This workshop covers content development, context concerns and considerations, and how to focus your time and energy spent online. We’ll also spend some time introducing fun apps that make branding and content creation fun and engaging. Course is open to artists with all levels of experiences.
Expect to come away with new insight into:
Branding, website development, and design.
Different social media platforms for creatives.
Effective and efficient approaches to content development.
How to set up a realistic plan for consistency.
Easy to use Apps to solidify your branding across web platforms.
Building your audience and community through active contribution.
Participants are encouraged to submit their current website and social media links prior to the workshop in order to receive specific feedback on their current practices. Existing website and social media links are however not a requirement.
Contact LOAM to register.
Also happening in Ottawa starting the next day is the NEW CLAY CONFERENCE – why not make it a full weekend of ceramics and the art of business?

This two-week workshop will focus on the multiple ways to enhance thrown and hand built ceramic forms through colour and pattern. The workshop is open to advanced students. Applicants must submit a resume of experience and six (6) images of their work. Applications must be received by April 17, 2020, and notice of acceptance will be issued by April 24, 2020.
Demonstrations will focus on monoprint, paper resist, and toner-resist transfer methods. In addition to these wet processes, glaze application strategies will be addressed. Other surface techniques will be introduced as time allows. Demonstrations on altering the thrown form will serve as building blocks for innovative pots that are truly one of a kind. Emphasis will be on pouring pots and lidded forms.
Alongside daily demonstrations, the course will include informative and inspiring presentations by NSCAD University Professor Emeritus, Walter Ostrom, CM, looking at pots from cultures and contexts from the past to the present. Development of individual studio work will be punctuated by energetic conversations that integrate growing technical skill and a love of the history of ceramic objects.

About Walter Ostrom and Martina Lantin:
Walter Ostrom, CM, Professor Emeritus, Ceramics, NSCAD
In 1997, he was awarded an Honorary Professorship at the Jingdezhen Ceramics Institute in Jingdezhen, Jianxi Province, People’s Republic of China. On February 5, 2007 he was invested into the Order of Canada in recognition of his teaching and creativity in ceramics. In November 2008 he was given the Portia White Award in recognition of his leading contribution to the arts in Nova Scotia. In 2014 he was appointed a Regis Master at the Northern Clay Center in Minneapolis, MN. Ostrom was appointed a ’Life Fellow’ in ceramics by NSCAD University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, at it’s spring 2017 convocation. An outstanding educator, he is committed to Craft practice and theory.
Walter is regarded internationally and in Canada as a technical and academic expert in low-fire maiolica, an ancient ceramic technique that he has personally tailored through innovations and decorative methods to reflect the geography of the places where he has lived, whether in Nova Scotia or the Far East. His body of work has developed across many aspects of ceramics in the span of a nearly 50-year career, from experiments in high conceptualism in the 1970s to a contemporary focus on the exploration of the vast history, hybridization and social foundation of ceramics.
He has extensively exhibited and lectured internationally. His work has appeared in numerous books and periodicals. His work has been collected by many public collections, including the Museum of Civilization, Ottawa; the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia; Halifax, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; and, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. We are fortunate to have Walter teaching for his forth Summer at our School.
Congratulations are in order for Walter on two fronts: he has been selected as a recipient of the 2020 NCECA ‘Excellence in Teaching Award’, which will be presented to him at NCECA’s 54th annual conference on Friday, March 27, 2020; and, the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia is mounting a retrospective exhibition entitled “Good Earth: The Pots and Passion of Walter Ostrom” to be officially opened on April 24, 2020, including a companion catalogue and film.
