Lisa Creskey,
Farrellton, Quebec.
The earthenware bodies that I build become homes for my paintings.
The clay becomes a world of both intimacy and expanse for my paintings
to inhabit, to tell their stories and explore.

John Ikeda,
St. Bernadin,Ontario.
The process of addition and removal of subtle and complex layers
of color is a technique I use to achieve an imagery of figure on
ground; a conceptually similar technique within landscape painting.
The essential difference is my aesthetic preference for abstraction.

Val David, Quebec
I wish that one day, my pieces can be found in an
antique shop or at the flea market and not in a museum. This way,
I know that my pottery will be used as simple objects bringing to
its user the pleasure of daily use.

Maureen
Marcotte,
Wakefield, Quebec.
Maureen's work has become well known for its intensely decorated
surfaces using a rich palette of glaze colours and textures. Each
piece is thrown individually on a potter's wheel and then decorated
by hand. Maureen uses wax resist and underglaze colours to create
intricate and complex patterns.

Since leaving my native Scotland, landscape, seascape, weather
and historical monuments have had a storng influence on my approach
to clay. The finished result becomes a vessel with reference to
the natural drift and change of forms exposed to the elements over
time.

Paula
Murray,
Meech Lake, Quebec.
My approach is symbolic of the forces at play on ones physical
being. Work was selected for both the 5th World Ceramic and the
Cheongju Craft Biennales in Korea (2009)

Cynthia OBrien,
Ottawa, Ontario.
My work is based on relationships, a reflection of humanity through
nature.
The abstracted natural forms suggest sexuality, fear, birth and
death.
I wish to entice the viewer through curiosity and discomfort.

Suzie
Osler,
Perth, Ontario.
My work is inspired by the abundance and fecundity of the natural
world. An avid gardener, I am constantly drawn to, and amazed by,
the astounding details of the plant, insect, and animal world, the
cycles of creation, growth, decay and renewal, and above all, the
vitality and persistence of life's 'spirit'. Similarly, my work
aims to delight - through colour, detail, complexity, and reference.

Saskia Praamsma
Clayton, Ontario.
In my work I am influenced by other cultures. At this time I am
especially inspired by architecture from the Far East to Middle
and South America and Lanark county where I live.
The end-products are textured handbuilt vessels.

"Is this a new pot or an old pot? Have I seen this before?
Why does it remind me of my aunt?"

Bill Reddick's work is concerned primarily with expressing
beauty. His contemporary designs in porcelain reflect both Chinese
ceramic traditions and Bill's roots as a functional potter
|

Rita
Redner,
Perth, Ontario.
Form, colour and texture are the defining features
of Rita's work. Most of her pottery is thrown on the wheel. After
throwing, a piece is often altered and sometimes re-assembled;
these pieces are often oval. Rita's salt-fired pottery is created
with both stoneware and porcelain clays, and is meant for everyday
use

Erin
Robertson ,
Ottawa, Ontario.
My work is marked by its whimsical and subversive
play on everyday idioms, domesticity, urban landscapes and mythology.

Marie-Ange Samon
Quebec.
Using fragments of myth, thought and allegory. I try to create
a dreamline environment. I like the memory of the clay, its ability
to link us to the past.
|
|
Richard
Skrobecki,
Almonte, Ontario.
I focus on red earthenware pottery using traditional
slipware techniques. Colour, drawing and patterned surface decoration
boldly accentuate thrown & altered serving ware and vases
forms.

Tim
Storey,
Cormac, Ontario.
Tim Storey's work ranges from the historical to the
hysterical. Birds, fish, mammals and
reptiles are pressganged into teapot service along side spaceships,
flying saucers, trees
and steamships.
|

|
Chandler
Swain,
Blakeney, Ontario.
The main focus of my work is using clay to make figures. The big
challenge is to work as a sculptor rather than a potter, this requires
different skills and emphasis.
