Combustion and Creativity – Salt Soda and Wood

Ceramics by Opeongo and Wilno area potters 
Tim
Storey,
Dan Hill , and Eva Gallagher  
 
 

 
Opens
July 20th, 7-9 pm at South of 60 Arts Centre in Barry’s Bay,
Ontario www.southof60.com and runs until August 26th. 

 
Probably
unique outside of an educational setting in Ontario, their salt, soda
and wood fired kilns are within a half hour drive of each other and this is
a chance to compare the three different types of firing and how they affect
the clay and creativity of the potter.

Rest in Peace John Reeve

John Reeve passed away yesterday.

Born in 1929 in Ontario, Canada apprenticed with Bernard Leach in England 1958 to 1961.

“I make pots, and am forever fascinated by forms in space, by the way
that potters (including myself) make things with their hands, by the
subsequent use of pottery in the ordinary and extraordinary ceremonies
of living”.
