made by hand

THE PLEASURES OF MAKING

call for entries

The Crafts Association of British Columbia invites all B.C. crafts
people to have their work considered for the 1993 MADE BY
HAND exhibition, which will take place at the Canadian Craft
Museum. The emphasis of the exhibit, as the title suggests, is to
demonstrate and explore that most human of drives which is to
create objects. In this exhibit we wish to explore this innate need to

engage in a physical and sensory experience to produce works that
define our humanity and place. The ‘process of making’ will be
shown, for example, by displaying unfinished objects along with
finished ones, and by presenting the artists’ words and/or sources of
inspiration in pictures or objects. It is anticipated that the show will
travel across Canada for 1-2 years following the CCM exhibition.
