DAVID LAMBERT - VANCOUVER'S FIRST POTTER
SEPTEMBER 17 - NOVEMBER 3, 1984

al

in exhibition of ceramics made in the David Lambert Studio
for three decades. Samples of masa produced pots, as well
as one-of-a-kind pieces and prints. According to Johann

ER, Polberg: "David Lambert was the first full-time potter
aetive in the lower mainland and was a pioneer in his field.
He developed a line of useful and originally designed ware
that sold not only locally, but across Canada and abroad.
All his pottery is decorated by him personally. His Indian
designs are distinguished by strong brush work and a humor-
ous interpretation of the figures involved. His ‘Little
Stick' designs display a mastery of sgraffito seldom seen
in Canada", The Cartwright Street Gallery is pleased to
present this exhibition as a tribute to one of the most
deserving members of the Vancouver craft community.
