The next 3 week-ends I'll be at various shows in Ottawa. The first is the Ottawa Guild of Potters fall sale, held at the Hellenic Community Centre Nov. 25-28. For more info. go to their website http://www.ottawaguildofpotters.ca/ I've been part of the guild off & on for about 25 years now, and am always amazed by the variety of ways that potters personalize their work with clay. There's always something inspirational.
The following week-end, on Sat. Dec. 4 I'll be at my son's school, Fisher Park/Summit at 250 Holland Ave. for their Christmas Craft Show and Sale. There will be over 100 vendors there from 9:30 - 3:00 with a really wide variety of crafted items and yummy food. Last year there was a long line up for some pretty spectacular looking home baking, so get there early if you want the best selection! Free parking, no admission and they even have a BBQ and refreshments available.
Then on Sat. Dec. 11 I'll be hosting our annual Open House, a festive event with invited guests, artist Janet Bell and photographer Peter Farris-Manning. The 3 of us have exhibited together for quite a few years now. It's always great to see the new works they have created and I will have lots of pottery available. I'll post an invitation at a later date with some images and more details.
In the meantime, I thought I'd post a few images of some of the new things I've been working on. First are some landscape platters in a variety of sizes.
