The Makings IV
Ceramics in November
Group Exhibition
on, Saturday, November 2, 3 to 5 pm
The Makings IV continues
our gallery’s annual focus on ceramics. Once again we offer a wide
variety of sculptural and functional ceramic works from a wide range of
artists from across Alberta and other parts. Our website and gallery
exhibition will be updated throughout the month, so visit us anytime.
Some of the participating artists are: Ed Bamiling, Lisa McGrath, Mindy
Andrews, Bradley Keys, Sarah Pike, Robin Dupont, Les Manning, John
Chalke, Barbara Tipton, Emily Schroeder Willis, Ruth Chambers, Sean
Kunz, Do-Hee Sung, Fran Cuyler, Katrina Chaytor, Reed Weir.
Out and About – the mountain tops are white, we have
brilliant blue skies, and everything is just gorgeous. The clear crisp
air means we hear the Mountain Chickadees, Nuthatches, Blue Jays,
Clark’s Nutcrackers and Ravens more often.

exhibition wrap up – Rising Water
I recently had the great honor to be invited to show alongside Linda Fahey (curator/organizer of Rising Water) and since I couldn’t make the journey down to San Fransisco, I asked Linda if she would share with musing some images from the exhibition. Many thanks to Linda for all her energy and time organizing the event. To all those who helped her out and to Jay Mercado who hosted the exhibition in his studio.
The following images and writing thanks to Linda.

What?
Rising
Water was a plan hatched during late night online conversation with
Mariko Paterson about this time last year. We were getting excited about
organizing a group show together, one in San Francisco, one in
Vancouver. How ambitious. Such grande plans. We talked about getting
both SFBay Area and Canadian talent involved – and how we would take the
show on the road. Sounded like a very exciting project.

I don’t
know where that year went! The show just opened in San Francisco,
Friday, Oct 18 to great success! The place was packed with people, we
sold a good bit of work. We got to meet many of our online friends in
person!

It
was important for the subject matter to have a conservation piece, and I
wanted to have a cup wall with invited artists, and I definitely wanted
a mix-media show. A small group of nine artists local and abroad were
identified because I thought they would bring together something both
innocent and genuine to the storyline. We didn’t have time to
photographically curate actual work; had to give them the subject matter
and wait to see how it would all come together. It worked beautifully.
There was such independence and a strong stylistic voice for each
artist, the pieces all stood well on their own, and still creating
relationship around the room.

The Cup Wall — there are so many bright stars in
the lineup, and there were pieces from Canada, Australia, around the US.
There were 33 artists participating on the cup wall.
