Christy Richardson, Workshop Coordinator, christyjrich@gmail.com ONLINE STUDENT EXHIBITION AUG. 1 to SEPT. 30 The 2012 Potters Council Online Student Juried Exhibition was created to recognize full-time college students who are Potters Council student members in an online exhibition. Our interest is to support the Potters Council student members who create ceramic art. We are pleased to announce our jurors, Paula Smith and James Connell. In addition to choosing the award recipients, the jurors will offer personalized feedback for each entry. Both instructors have been instrumental in ceramic arts education, and Potters Council appreciates their support of our endeavors to recognize our student members currently enrolled in college.

Ifyou want to send a computer printed sheet with all the entry information on it with your pieces that is fine. Just make sure I know which piece is A and which is B. Printed lines cannot be more than 5 inches wide. If you live outside of the USA and would like to send a $35 cash entry fee rather than a check, please contact me so we can discuss it. The 2010 Show paid $4,150 in awards. I have been working with the show since 1994, I am 74 years old now and this could be my last show. I always look forward to seeing the many new and exciting pieces you send and admire your skill, imagination and techniques. Don Balch, dgbalch@gmail.com Exhibition, Vancouver April 5 to May 17. Opening reception: Thursday, April 5, 6 to 8 p.m. Celia Pickles and Jinny Whitehead present an exhibition of their new work entitled Traces: Inspirations from the Coastal Shorelines, at the Craft Council of BC Gallery. Pickles’ monotype prints and Whitehead’s ceramics are inspired by the spectacular landscape of Canada’s West Coast, featuring rolling fog drifts, ghostly tree forms, shimmering shafts of light, and reflecting pools. Echoing the shoreline, the pieces embody ocean-weathered rocks, shells, and fragments of driftwood. Curated by Brigitte Rice.
