Today’s site to see is a shout out to my local pottery supply store here in Saskatoon.
Tree opened back in 1974 and has been supplying the local community of ceramic artists ever since. Louise Roy, the shops’ owner is one of the most fantastically lovely people to do business with. My little guy and always enjoy our visit.

So i’m working away on the computer as usual. Why am I never in the studio? Why? Sigh. Anyway…there’s good news. I’m working on a small self-published publication (read iphoto book) that I’m going to be launching at my next gallery exhibition (october) and selling online (asap).
Here’s the problem, I’ve been making figurines since 2005 and there are too many to chose from. So I’m calling on all of you for help! I’ve got my favorites narrowed down, but my favorites and everyone else’s favorites sometimes differ. So you now have the opportunity to have your say.
Vote for your favorite (or favorites) figurine by checking out www.caroleepp.com and browsing through the many years of figurines and then simply drop me a line at [email protected] or in the comments of this post telling me your favorite piece and you could be well on your way to winning a copy of the publication once it is released.
Sound good? 2 readers will be randomly selected and contacted for contact details (or feel free to include those in your email). Post this far and wide, I need some help! Too many to chose from!
DEADLINE FOR ENTRIES is September 5th 2010
Seriously, who doesn’t love free stuff?
I couldn’t resist posting this image, it’s just such a beautiful and simple, yet engaging display. So
well designed to showcase the work.
Sturt Craft Centre invites applications from experienced craft practitioners to the Sturt Artist-in-Residence program. Residencies occur in the disciplines of ceramics, jewellery, textiles, wood, photography and writing. Four to six residencies occur at Sturt each year.
From late 2009, Sturt widened the focus of its residency program to encourage small scale production and individually designed work which will be promoted through Sturt Gallery. Each year, four professional residencies will be awarded to applicants specifically to develop a body of work which can be produced and made at Sturt, during the Residency time. Sturt sees the residency program as an important adjunct to its overall aim of support for Australian contemporary craft and design through a program of teaching, retail, exhibition and residencies. The emphasis of the residency program will be to support craftspeople and designer-makers who are sympathetic to this philosophy. All Residency Programs are assisted financially from Friends of Sturt, a volunteer support group which meets regularly to help with events at Sturt, produces a newsletter and raises money through its membership fees. Three categories of residency are available:
