President’s Message

I hope everyone 1s finding time to take a break, enjoy the long summer
days, and smell the roses! I have been on a bit of a clean-out rampage
and have already collected a box of pottery that I can donate to the
“Too Good for the Shard Sale”.

This important fundraiser will be held the first weekend of
November at the Lougheed Mall. So if you are also able to find
a few seconds or pieces that just didn’t work out as planned, please
keep them aside for that event. Like the last time, I will identify
several drop-off locations around the Lower Mainland closer
to the time. If you can’t wait till then contact me and I can collect

donations in my studio. In the meantime, enjoy the summer.

Gallery News
Paul Scott opens July 17

The Gallery of BC Ceramics 1s pleased to
announce the firstsoloexhibitionin Canada
of world-renowned ceramist, author and
educator Paul Scott. The exhibition will
showcase works made during his guest
artist/teaching appointment at Emily
Carr Institute tn July.

Paul Scott resides in Cumbria, in rural
northern England. He is currently a
Ph.D. fellow at Manchester Institute
for Research and Innovation tn Art
and Design, Manchester Metropolitan
University, England and the author of two
books, Ceramics and Print (A&C Black,
1994/96) and Painted Clay: Graphic Arts
and the Ceramic Surface (A&C Black and
Watson Guptill, 2000.) He has exhibited
internationally and has work tn collections
in Britain, Scandinavia, Europe, Australia,
Korea, South Africa and the US.. His
work involves the digital manipulation of
patterns, images and vignettes deriving
from traditional blue and white ceramic
wares, resulting in individual pieces that are
exacting and critical. As Stephanie Brown
has observed, “Scott’s preoccupation with
the visual coding of pastoral fantasies on
tableware is inseparable from his interest
in developing a visual language capable of
dealing with the contemporary landscape
and the issues which shape 1t.” Paul Scott
