“Thank you! Come again” by Cathy Terepocki @ Elsie Scherle Art Gallery




There is something adventurous and exciting when you have the freedom to explore an abandoned site with memorabilia left behind, a depiction of a life once lived. This exhibition was inspired by a visit to a remote and abandoned hamlet of Bents, Saskatchewan. Artist Cathy Terepocki became fascinated by the buildings in their various states of decay as well as the artifacts left behind as a testament to a bygone rural era. Even more so, she was surprised by how many artifacts had been left knowing that in other parts of the country they would be vandalized and pilfered.


Terepocki’s desire to maintain this historical site and the belongings left behind led her to create free souvenirs for the town in the hopes that by placing the pieces out there that visitors would take a cup and leave the other objects untouched. Terepocki draws parallels between the history of ceramics, the factory made ceramic object, and the desire to preserve memory, time and experience.

Cool Atmospheres

March 16-May 12
Opening Reception: Friday, March 16, 6-9 pm

“Cool Atmospheres” features the cone 6 soda fired stoneware and porcelain of Georgia artist Mark Knott, the salt fired earthenware of renowned potter Ron Meyers, and selections of cone 04 and cone 6 soda and wood/soda fired pots from the Claymakers’ community. This exhibition showcases “cooler” atmospheric firing at cone 04 and cone 6, with its unique surfaces and distinctive effects, which is a less common practice than higher temperature atmospheric firing. Flashing slips, succulent glazes, and the textures that pick up sodium accents so well make this show an exciting display of color, surface, and cooler atmospheric firing.
