The Gallery of BC Ceramics welcomes the following new artists:

Meg Burgess (Comox) Susan Clarke (Bowen Island)
Sandra Dolph (Galiano Island} Keith Lehman (Vancouver)
Lynsey Paterson (North Vancouver) Junichi Tanaka (Maple Ridge}

The Gallery of BC Ceramics displays and sells the work of its members who have submitted to and been
accepted by a jury of their peers, The jury looks essentially at the technical compitency of the work as well as
its innovation of design and form, The above 6 artists were among 13 who recently submitted their work to
the spring jury session (the next session is in the fall). This new work will be available in early summer.

Sandra Dolph has come to her current home on Galiano Island, where she built
her studio, teaches and sells pots fram her open air gallery in the trees, by way
of the Rockies and upstate New York. Sandra has worked with wood-fired salt
pattery, but now focuses on Raku firing and lichen glazes, An examole af one of
Sandra's lichen glazed vessels is pictured to the right.

Junichi Tanaka has, in recent years, changed his medium of expression fram

poetry to clay. He says each ceramic piece és, in a sense, poetry without words;

each work should deliver a dear message to the audience. Junichi works with Sordi ficteh Lichen Glace Vaeowst
gecarative, one-ol-a-kind platters and other large vessels and also a functional
line of stoneware, glazed in a deep soft green glaze, the latter of which will be available in the Gallery.

Lynsey Paterson lives on a farm near Brakendale, where she creates her work in a wood-fired studio, Alter graduating from
Capilano College, and later a community centre program, Lynsey has been teaching ceramics on the North Shore for eight years.
The Gallery looks forward to having Lynsey's rustic clay tiles available for sale; they are inspired by her love of nature and country
life and depict very whimsical subjects, including “Afternoon Tea” and the cheeky “Naked Gardener”.

Meg Burgess studied ceramics in England both at the Camberwell Schaol of Art in London and North Staffordshire Technical
College. After teaching and opening a workshop in North Wales with her husband Alan, they emigrated with their two daughters to
the Comox Valley and opened Little River Pottery. Meg produces 2 variety of decorative and functional stoneware vessels which are
often decorated with beautiful brushwork drawings. Although she works often with blues or greens, Meq uses other colours to

enhance her designs.
