France Fauteux exhibition @ Centre Materia
From November 11th to December 18th 2011, Centre MATERIA will be inhabited by a fantastic people: « Les Amourois ». Emerging from the imagination of the experienced ceramist, France Fauteux, these likeable anthropomorphic and colourful characters become alive in a phantasmagorical story. More than a fairy tale, this story may be akin to an allegory on happiness. After having being presented in some exhibition places across the province of Quebec, among which, Montreal and Baie-St- Paul, this travelling exhibition will be stopping in Quebec City, where the artist lives and works.
“I dreamed of an imaginary country with neither conflict nor war, a place where harmony and happiness reign, a kingdom of beauty, where living things and nature are in balance.”

New Soda Work by Kenyon Hansen
There is a gorgeous album of new soda work by Kenyon Hansen doing the rounds on Facebook and I just had to share it here as well. Fantastic surfaces and forms all round.
Why oh why do such things pop up right before the holidays? My wish list for Father Christmas grows longer everyday.
