Okay so i really didn’t mean to drop off over the past few weeks, my apologies! But I promise I had a really good reason – I’ve been working behind the scenes on The Ceramics Congress which starts tomorrow! The event goes for 5 days, is jam-packed full of workshops from international artists, talks, fun challenges, artists markets, film fest and a HUGE online exhibition of 88 artists. I literally can’t name it all there is so much.
So I really hope you’ll join us this weekend. We already have over 5000 attendees signed up from around the world!
And it’s only $10 if you buy your ticket asap and seriously where else can you get this much ceramic fun for $10???
And if you can’t make it this weekend you can buy the replays for life for only $59 – still ridiculously cheap!!!

Forward Motion
How craft can help us move from a crisis of care to a culture of care.
Hosted on Zoom April 1, 1 pm CT
Marking one year of living under the shadow of a global pandemic, we’re taking an opportunity to pause, to look around us, to reflect. The difficulties we have all grappled with this year have amplified fissures in our society’s concept of care. Reflecting on this pivotal moment, we ask how craft can comfort us and move us from a crisis of care to a culture of care. We’ve designed this American Craft Forum to build on the themes explored in the Spring 2021 issue of American Craft.
Register HERE.

CLAY VOICES Season 2
Last year in June, CLAY Voices on Instagram, Canadian Ceramics Symposium was born in the middle of a global pandemic. This initiative was -and still is a response to the uncertainty we all artists were facing and its impact in our practice and our daily lives. The goal was to connect ceramic artists across Canada during the lockdown. The enthusiastic response revealed how much we miss our people.
Back then, 17 artists were interacting through Instagram during a weekend, introducing themselves and sharing views, concerns and supportive messages. Several months later restrictions are still in place and the second edition of CLAY Voices is taking over Instagram once again.
This coming weekend of March 5-7, an amazing lineup of ceramic artists across Canada will be live-streaming on Instagram 55 min. each. Through informal presentations, up-and-coming artists and established potters and sculptors will connect with the ceramics community. Using a mobile phone connected to the internet we will be watching the live talks from Alison Brannen, Catharina Goldnau,
Chris Snedden; Christy Chor, Dianne Lee, Heidi McKenzie and Tanya Besedina (ON); Jay Kimball (SK), Jordan Munro (AL); Lisa Creskey from Québec and Toni Losey from Nova Scotia. Presenters will open their studios and hearts to share with CLAY Voices followers some of the strategies they have set in place lately to keep their practice alive. To know more, follow @clayvoices and stay tuned.
Let’s connect, hear new voices and get inspired!
