Kindred in Blue + White Opens June 7
‘Kindred in Blue + White’ is the title of a show combining the ceramics of
Krystal Speck from Toronto and Heather Dahl from Vancouver at Bookhou
in Toronto from June 7-30, 2012.
The idea for the show came about as Heather discovered Krystal’s ceramics
online and felt that their work was ‘kindred’ to her own, sharing a spirit, sensibility,
and process to making with clay. As the two artists began to connect, a friendship
was formed along with the concept of creating a exhibit together.
Bookhou shop came up as a place that this kindred connection could be showcased
in. As one of Toronto’s treasures, Bookhou is the bricks and mortar shop of artists
John and Arounna who make their own textiles, furniture, accessories, and art as a
family.
Opening June 7 from 6-9pm

experiences as a ceramic artist today. Make sure not to miss it!

monday morning eye candy: Brenda Wolf
Well there is honestly nothing more pleasing than finding amazing work practically right in your backyard, plus the joy of meting a blog reader in person. Last weekend I meet Brenda Wolf at the Cathedral Village Arts Festival and was completely taken with her work. In fact the piece in the 3rd picture below now sits on my living room cabinet. I also have a soft spot for artists who work both functionally and sculpturally like me. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

my own work, I have concern for the whole piece – throwing, finishing,
glazing, firing, decorating are all important to me in the creation of
the work. Images, illusions of surface and the form they are placed upon
to create individual works”.
