We at Make and Do will be partnering with the Ceramic School (https://ceramic.school) for the upcoming Ceramic Congress May 27-31, 2021. During the congress, we will be showcasing all the amazing ceramic works being made in our great country. We would like to highlight the work of Canadian ceramic artists from each province.
This is where you come in. Do you have a short video that you would like to share with the world? The video could be of your latest works, or a time-lapse of making a teapot, or even a guided tour of your studio! All we ask is that it’s 5 minutes or less and clay-related.

Submissions Due April 2, 2021
We are pleased to announce a national open call for submissions from Canadian clay, glass and copper enamel artists for Confined, a national group exhibition.
In March 2020, Covid-19 brought all of us to a standstill. Many artists didn’t even have access to their studios. As Covid-19 continues to affect us all in our daily life, we invite clay, glass, and copper enamel artists to express in their art what the imposed confinement meant for them.
The selected works will be presented in the exhibition starting in January 2022. A publication will also be produced.

“The arts truly have the power to change lives. The accuracy of this aspirational statement is well known by Los Angeles-based artist Molly Larkey, who founded a non-profit organization called People’s Pottery Project. After becoming affiliated with organizations such as Californians United for a Responsible Budget and the California Coalition for Women Prisoners, Larkey was inspired to use her artistic skills to build a community and uplift those who were transitioning from the prison system back into normal life. This endeavor was launched in 2019 as “an artist-driven initiative whose mission is to empower formerly incarcerated women, trans, and nonbinary individuals and their communities through the arts.”
Since its inception, only a couple of years ago, People’s Pottery Project—fondly known as PPP for short—has made great strides and improved the lives of many. By offering pottery classes to the public and making handmade ceramic bowls and plates to sell, they are able to offer employment and support to previously incarcerated people, giving them a chance to build a better life and remain out of the prison system.”
