Kindred in Blue + White Opens June 7
‘Kindred in Blue + White’ is the title of a show combining the ceramics of
Krystal Speck from Toronto and Heather Dahl from Vancouver at Bookhou
in Toronto from June 7-30, 2012.
The idea for the show came about as Heather discovered Krystal’s ceramics
online and felt that their work was ‘kindred’ to her own, sharing a spirit, sensibility,
and process to making with clay. As the two artists began to connect, a friendship
was formed along with the concept of creating a exhibit together.
Bookhou shop came up as a place that this kindred connection could be showcased
in. As one of Toronto’s treasures, Bookhou is the bricks and mortar shop of artists
John and Arounna who make their own textiles, furniture, accessories, and art as a
family.
Opening June 7 from 6-9pm
Bookhou Shop

on Sunday, June 10 at 3pm. She will be
sharing images of past to present work, along with sharing her
experiences as a ceramic artist today. Make sure not to miss it!

monday morning eye candy: Brenda Wolf
Well there is honestly nothing more pleasing than finding amazing work practically right in your backyard, plus the joy of meting a blog reader in person. Last weekend I meet Brenda Wolf at the Cathedral Village Arts Festival and was completely taken with her work. In fact the piece in the 3rd picture below now sits on my living room cabinet. I also have a soft spot for artists who work both functionally and sculpturally like me. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Upcoming at the Gardiner Museum:

careers of many famous potters and ceramic artists.
In 2012 the event will take place from 22 September with an Official
Opening and will continue until 3 October 2012 when any unsold entries

This year our Judge will be Greg Daly. Here is a quote from the Entry Form:
About the Judge –
Daly is a ceramic artist resident of the Cowra district and lecturer at
the Australian National University – Ceramic Workshop. A member of
the International Academy of Ceramics – Geneva, he is a ceramicist of
national and international standing with works in national and
over 75 international galleries / museums.
my own work, I have concern for the whole piece – throwing, finishing,
glazing, firing, decorating are all important to me in the creation of
the work. Images, illusions of surface and the form they are placed upon
to create individual works”.
