ART POWELL swapped a
desk for a potiery kiln when
he moved to Kitamaai Vil-
lage with his wife Lorraine.

Art, who has a degree in
economics and has worked
in the newspaper industry,
how describes himself as 2
corporate drop-out.

He and Lorraine moved to
the village so she could take
a job as a United Church
minister.

Their family had grown
up, and Art and Lorraine en-
joyed the change to a slower

. lifestyle.

‘Art's interest in pottery
dates back 25 years, when
he took a course in Pentic-
ton, But he didn’t start to
get serious about his work
until he took another night
class in potiery in 1994 in
Kitimat.

Act doesn’t want to be-
come overly involved in his
wife’s work in the village,
so he finds the pottery work
a good focus for him.

He’s been selling his pot-
tery at the farmer’s market
for three years now,

As well as keeping up a
good stock of pottery for his
customers, Art is now teach-
ing pottery. He’s currently
in the midst of a 10-week
course at the Riverlodge
recreation centre in Kitimat.
He’ ll offer another course in
the fall.

Art is involved with the

Kitimat Potters Guild. He

‘AT THE MARKET
LYNNE CHRISTIANSEN

says Kitimat is a great place
for potters because River-
lodge bas 10 wheels and
three kilns available to the
public fora small fee.

It’s important for teachers
ta continue their own cduca-
tion, so Art is taking @ pot-
tery workshop in Vancouver
with John Leach of En-
gland. Leach is a third gen-
eralion potter. His grand-
father is the grandfather of
all studio potters.

In the winters, when the
market season is over, Art
sells at the Terrace Co-op.
So he is accessible to the
public about 48 Saturdays a
year.

There’s a wide selection
of pottery available —
everything from mugs,
plates, butter dishes, garlic
keepers, pitchers, vases, and
cream and sugar sets. Art

hillside behind the Willows
Apartments.

In days gone by George
Little operated a brick yard
there, It was run by Edmond
Hamer, who was a brick-
layer by trade,

The bricks were lovely to
look at. They were dark
brown in color with a
marbled effect. However

they didn’t take the heat
well.
