Gallery News

Over the past few years, I was always delighted to see ceramic instructor Rob
Stickney bring in his students from St. George’s High School to the gallery
for a visit. I was very pleased to offer his graduating class the opportunity
to show their work at the gallery. Working with students is very challenging
(indeed!) but, by creating this exciting new exhibition, the gallery is furthering
the PGBC mandate and will hopefully stir ceramic creative passions and
appreciation for many years to come. c)
