Gallery of BC Ceramics

The October 15th Jury to sell at the gallery is now full, but we do
keep a waitlist, just in case!

Shirley Inouye's beautiful lanterns will be illuminating our exhi-
bition area during October. Join us on Thursday October 7th for
her opening reception.

ALL BCPG members have the opportunity to sell their ceramic
work in the gallery for the December's annual member's exhibi-
tion. All ceramic work must be foodsafe, free of cracks, and with-
out crazing or sharp edges. Please try to drop off your work by
November 22, 2004 so we can get it entered into inventory. It
helps to call ahead so we know when to expect your delivery. Last
year, we had 17 people dropping off inventory on December Ist
and. we would like more time to get the work on display.

For those of you juried into the gallery, please consider dropping
off work prior to all your holiday sales so that the gallery contin-
ues to look abundant and plentiful! Remember that the US
Thanksgiving holiday is November 25th, which brings many hol-
iday shoppers to Granville Island.

Friday December 3rd the entire Granville Island community
springs to life with carriage rides circling the island, Santa, carol-
ers, free hot cider... Many studios, galleries, theatres, shops and
restaurants will be open late that night for the launch of "Yuletide
Traditions’. The Gallery of BC Ceramics will be hosting the
opening reception for our December member's exhibition and
perhaps we will have a Raku U going on beside the gallery...
Please join us.
