Hello! Welcome to the blog in support of the Potters Guild of British Columbia's travelling exhibition BC-in-a-Box 3: The Edge of Here. This blog will give background on the exhibition, the participants and the venues to which the exhibition will travel. As work is exhibited, we will post images of the show in situ. We hope you will be able to see the show, and that you will want to comment, but, if not, we also have the on-line version of the exhibition you can view.
The first exhibition will take place at Red Deer College in the Visual Art Department from September 1 to September 30. The show will then travel to the Medicine Hat Cultural Centre, where it will be on view from October 5 to October 26.

The image above is by Joan Barnet, wedge of edges. It was selected for special recognition by the two artists we invited to view and comment on our exhibition, Sally Michener and Mary Daniel. Here's what they said:

"Joan Barnet's wedge of edges combines technical confidence, elegance and tactile qualities that make you want to touch it. It demonstrates what can be done with clay and the spontaneous results of raku firing. Offering contrast, depth and thoughtful working of the clay; it is open to possibilities and shows the essence of clay. And it addresses the theme of 'the edge'! "

For these reasons, Joan Barnet's work has been selected to represent our exhibition as the publicity image, and it has been designated with the Special Merit Award. Congratulations Joan!
