Exhibition Reception: Saturday, April 9, 2011, from 2 – 4 pm
Connie Pike has been a professional potter and ceramic artist in Alberta since 1978. Her approach to working with clay evolves as she investigates function and aesthetic. Shapes and designs build upon themselves and new versions of form and decoration filter through her body of work and refresh the process. Connie’s love of detail and drawing is the major influence on the work featured in Flourish. With a focus on using texture and line, Connie carves her drawings into a lino block tile and rolls the impression into the soft clay. She has adapted this method to decorate her tiles, trays, book covers, boxes, vases, mugs, glasses, jugs and vessels.

exploring the voices of craft makers 35 & younger
This exhibition will reveal the distinctive voice of our current handmade culture by featuring craft artists of generation Y (born between 1976 – 2000).
Questions for reflecting on the theme:
• Why did you start making craft?
• What is the inspiration or origin of your work?
• Are you making a statement? (Feminism, environmentalism, anti-capitalism, etc.)
• What are the future goals of your craft?
This call is open to all current and former Alberta artists ages 35 and younger working in fine craft mediums. Fine craft mediums include clay, fibre, metal, glass, wood, stone & found objects.
** All pieces must be original in design – no kits or patterns **

• a brief statement answering some of the above questions
• artist bio, contact information & year of birth
• up to 10 good quality images (digital – 4”x6” 300dpi) of work to be in the exhibition
