Julia Galloway Workshop

by Aaron Nelson

Drawing on a broad spectrum of influences, ranging from
Minoan ceramics to miniature Persian painting to poetry,
potter Julia Galloway seeks to create vessels that are
“Joyous, intimate, and weave into our daily lives through
use and decoration, embellishing our living spaces with
character and elegance.” Julia is a strong advocate for
the notion that beautiful objects are essential in both our
living and working spaces, “a pitcher decorates the
mantel when it is not full of lemonade, a cream and sugar
set remind us of close conversations. A mug with slight
texture inside the handle allows our fingers to discover
uniqueness.” Currently Julia is Artist-in-Residence at the
Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, Montana. Being in
this challenging and stimulating environment allows her
to further her explorations ir. cone six soda fired
porcelain.

The upcoming workshop (March 27 & 28 ac Shadbolt
Centre for the Arts) will address making and decorating
pots using both hand-building and wheel-thrown
techniques, as well as surface treatment and glazing.
During the workshop, Julia will show some slides to
outline the development of ker own work as well as her
historical and contemporary influences. An evening slide
lecture is being planned for taose who cannot attend the
workshop, but time and place are still to be announced.
