a site to see friday: Print Pattern Project

by | Jul 20, 2012 | Uncategorized

Last night I attended the opening of Cathy Terepocki’s exhibition Thank-you! Come again. at Luna & Hill here in Saskatoon. As always seeing Cathy’s work was inspiring. She has such a defined and unique style and aesthetic that I love. And she is truly the hardest working artist I know. Three kids and still time to be an art star!

Well it reminded me that another amazing Canadian ceramic artist had emailed a while back with a great link to a blog post someone wrote about one of Cathy’s workshops. So I thought I’d share as today’s site to see.

Enjoy!

Also check out more about Cathy here.
Oh and make sure to also check out Marney McDiarmid’s work (she’s the one that sent me the link). Her work is also beyond fabulous!

a site 2 see friday: Recycled China

by | Jul 13, 2012 | Uncategorized

From the website:“Recycled China is a design team consisting of artists
Thomas Schmidt and Jeff Miller. During the factory production of ceramic
products, there is on average a 4% loss rate; items which in one way or
another are imperfect and therefore do not reach the market. Once
fired, ceramic materials are no longer usable and simply end up in
landfills around the world.  As an alternative to using mined materials,
Recycled China is about reusing ceramic waste and other industrial
waste into the form of architectural tile, functional design works, and
sculptural objects. “
