GALLERY OF BC CERAMICS: DEADLINES

Gallery Retail juries

‘There are two remaining gallery retail juries for the year 2012: June 4 and Sept. 10.

Exhibition juries
‘This is a reminder to members that you can now apply for an exhibition at the Gallery of BC Ceramics at any time during the year. We
hope this will allow more flexibility and allow you to put together your submissions when inspiration actually hits you, rather than having
to wait for a specific date to submit. We also look at scheduling a two-year period to allow more lead time in creating work for exhibitions
as well as creating a balanced exhibition program.

For more specific information on either jury, please refer to the gallery website www.galleryofbcceramics.com. Select the menu "Artists"
and then "Artist Forms” where you will see "gallery jury applications". Here is the direct link: www.bcpotters.com/forms/2010_Gallery_

North-West Ceramics Foundation:

From Oven and Kiln 2012

By Debra Sloan

On April 19 the NWCF hosted the eighth From Oven
and Kiln Auction Dinner at the Royal Vancouver Yacht
Club. There were 130 guests, 61 auction donations and
150 donated dessert plates. BC ceramicists responded
generously, providing us with the most handsome plates
and best auction pieces we have had to date. It was

an evening that was truly focused on the outstanding
quality of BC ceramics.

Our MC, Dave Carlin, General Manager of the
acclaimed Vancouver Cantata Singers, brought his
energy and passion for BC ceramics to the event. Carol
Mayer presented the 2009 NWCF Award recipients,
Lisa Henriques and Ian Johnston, showing their recent
work and accomplishments. Ron Vallis presented Alwyn
O’Brien with the 2012 NWCF Award, and she gave a
heartfelt and descriptive presentation of her impressive
work.

Our patrons and guests responded enthusiastically to
the presentations and to the outstanding auction display.
More than 50 percent, an unusually high number,
bid competitively. The NWCF Board delivered the
dessert plates to their guests, and the historic cajoling

) and trading began. It was a very happy and energetic

Z ’ evening, and our most successful to date.
