Relating craft to the ethos of the Slow Movement – a reconnection to self, materials and its positive impact for our quality of life – ceramicist
Gail Mahon invites members of the public to contribute and engage with the sculptural works that will be developed during a week installation at the Tower Museum.
By bringing together old and new elements in a ceramic ‘patchwork’, the installation work examines the future of craft and explores the relationship people have with craft objects and their perceptions of value. Collaboration
Gail will work alongside the Mission Hall Quilters’ Group to add to their installation work. Within a sewing circle, the group will use traditional patchwork techniques to create long lengths of fabric to thread
the ceramic beads and components. Join Gail to share in the experience and explore craft skills and creativity as the installation evolves throughout the week. The outcomes will be displayed as part of Mahon’s solo exhibition in 2011.
This event starts: 16th August, 2010
This event ends: 21st August, 2010

Deadline for entry (both electronic or by mail – no postmark): November 5
An exhibition featuring work by pairs of artists who cooperatively create a set of tableware (functional or nonfunctional.) To be exhibited at Fancy Gallery, Seattle during the Society of North American Goldsmiths (SNAG) conference 2011, and online at http://crafthaus.ning.com
This exhibition would like to show how two individual makers develop a tableware set together. These objects can work together, respond to one another, converse between each other, or work dependently with one another. Work should show where the influence of each individual artist ends, and FLOWS into the creative sphere of the team, thus picking up on the SNAG conference theme FLUX (Flux as a Process.)
This juried exhibition is an open call to all craft artists regardless of medium. Artists are asked to form partnerships based on interest in each other’s work, and diversity in craft technique/materials displayed. Cross-media and international relationships are strongly encouraged. Only one member of each pairing is required to be a current member of SNAG.
A website has been created to facilitate potential collaborations. If you are an artist (in any medium) who would like to connect with a SNAG member (and vice versa) can do so through this online connection service.

CLAY 2010: $15 + gst (and shipping)
Clay 2010 is the most recent and extensive venture intended to add fine craft to the AFA collection. The AFA has contracted the Craft Council to manage an acquisition process and touring exhibition that represents a 2010 cross-section of ceramic arts activity in Alberta. Unity & Diversity: $40 +gst (and shipping)
Intentionally broad in scope, the exhibition theme “Unity and Diversity” seeks responses from craftspeople on how they see their work in the context of the Canadian craft scene. Does Canadian craft have a unified identity, or do our vast physical and cultural geographies make the question of identity much more complicated and diverse?
To order catalogues call the ACC Shop at 780-488-5900 or visit the Alberta Craft Council.
