 Russian revolutionary plate

Decorated
plate from St Petersburg. Neil MacGregor, Director of the British
Museum, explores the Russian Revolution by looking at a plate painted
with propaganda for the new Communist state. The plate was made at the
Imperial Porcelain Factory, St Petersburg, in 1901 but was decorated 20
years later in the same factory, which had become the State Porcelain
Factory in the newly-named city of Petrograd. With contributions by
Mikhail Piotrovsky and Eric Hobsbawn.

Caffeine – Robin DuPont & Sarah Pike @ the Alberta Craft Council

by | Oct 22, 2014 | | 0 Comments

October 25 – November 29, 2014

The caffeine rituals we partake in as humans are many and varied.
From the blend and preparation to the time of day and people we choose
to share a coveted beverage with, more often than not, these habits have
significance in our daily lives. Robin DuPont and Sarah Pike are both
full time studio potters, recognized amongst their peers as makers of
teapots, mugs, cups, creamers and more things that all shout ‘Caffeine’!
They are also both avid ‘coffee enthusiasts’ and ‘ritual aficionados’.
This joint exhibition, is an exploration of the ‘caffeine’ theme and an
opportunity for the viewer to recognize and appreciate how both makers
interpret the theme through their unique forms and aesthetic choices.
