The Potters’ Guild of B.C. is
organizing a juried exhibition at the
Canadian Craft Museum which will
focus on jugs. It will run concurrently

with the Craft Association of B.C.’s juried
Made by Hand exhibition, “The Pleasures of
Making”, from May 28th to July 18th, 1993.

As the title suggests, this exhibition will challenge the potter to
explore the image of this simple vessel, from function to abstraction.

The work should demonstrate some or all of the following: skill, technical

virtuosity, individuality, experimentation, and artistic vision.
