worth a read: How one Canadian School is adapting to covid in the ceramics studio.
“By following the health and safety protocols established to allow in-person learning, students in the Ceramics Studio at the Selkirk College Victoria Street Campus are flourishing and appreciating the opportunity to deliver beauty under the shadow of uncertainty.
The wheels of creativity continue to spin at Selkirk College’s downtown Nelson campus where students in School of the Arts craft studio programs have been engaged in hands-on learning since September.
Adhering to the Provincial Health Officer’s COVID-19 pandemic guidelines for safe learning within the post-secondary education system, the Victoria Street Campus is currently offering in-person training for learners in the Blacksmithing Studio, Sculptural Metal Studio, Textiles Studio and Ceramics Studio. With small class sizes and adjusted studio spaces, ten ceramics students are currently putting the final touches on projects as they prepare for the holiday break.
“Creativity at this time is super important,” says student Candace Ferguson, who moved from the Lower Mainland this past summer to attend Selkirk College. “Nobody wants to be in this situation, but allowing creative people to do creative things… it actually gives life to others who enjoy the final outcome and it brings hope.

online event: Craft in Art Therapy: Diverse Approaches to the Transformative Power of Craft Materials and Methods
About this Event
Fuller Craft Museum is excited to host a panel discussion based on the new book Craft in Art Therapy: Diverse Approaches to the Transformative Power of Craft Materials and Methods (Routledge, 2020).
Craft in Art Therapy is the first book dedicated to illustrating the incorporation of craft materials and methods into art therapy theory and practice. It demonstrates that when practiced in a culturally sensitive and socially conscious manner, craft practices are more than therapeutic—they also hold transformational potential.
The panel will be moderated by the book’s editor Lauren Leone, and will feature contributing authors Mikey Anderson, Marilyn Holmes, Rachel Wallis, and Sandie Yi.
Panelists will share how they have used craft in their own art and self-care, and in individual, group, and community art therapy practice. Discussion and audience Q&A to follow will explore the therapeutic benefits of craft materials and media, as well as craft’s potential to build community and to support individuals in caring for themselves and each other.
This is a virtual event to be held live on Zoom at 1pm EST on January 16, 2021. You will receive the zoom link with your ticket confirmation via email.
