‘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

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.

Charity Cups
Give a little, give alot…
Even though we are run off our feet, we at
Feedlot Studios
like to give when and where we can. Often times this comes in the form
of donated art and design services for those who need a little
rah-rah-sis-boom bah. Starting today Mariko will be hanging some upcycled cups, mugs and other ceramic oddity from
GIRO
(The Gabriola Island Recycling Organization). They’ll be priced at $5
and only one of those clams will be kept to cover some of the material
and firing cost.
What
a steal you say? Almost…just place the loot (like the plate says) in
the box provided and we’ll get the money into some local non-profit
pockets. See them gems online
here.
