BC in a Box Call for Entries

Our guild turns 50 in 2005. That’s half a cen-
tury of BC potters sharing firing and glazing tips,
workshops by potters from all corners of the globe,
including two generations of Leaches, craft sales,
galleries, hundreds of newsletters and an unimag-
inable number of pots, from the sublime to the
clunky (well, clunky on my part, at least). There
will be many events and exhibits to celebrate this
anniversary, including BC in a Box. Modeled on
the Orton Cone Box show (where everything has
to fic into an Orton Cone box), this show will
travel to at least half a dozen locations around the
province during 2005/2006.

Create a miniature masterpiece and send it to
the BC Potters Guild by February 15th. The exhi-
bition is non-juried, but there will be a jurors
prize selection of fifteen pieces that demonstrate

excellence in technique, concept and execution.
Entry fee is $20, cheques can be made out to the
Potters Guild of BC. Thrown, hand-built, fired in
anything and everything - all are encouraged. The
ONLY limitation is that your piece (or pieces)
must be a maximum size of 4.5” by 4.5” by 4.5”.
This is so that it will fit inside the hand-made box
that will act as both its shipping container and
exhibition plinth.

Along with your piece you must include your
name, contact information, cheque, title, tech-
niques and 75-150 words on yourself, or your
approach to clay. Contact Karen Opas at karen
opas@hotmail.com or 604-874-7116 for more
information or if you are interested in having this
exhibition travel to your community.
