Celebrating Success in our community

EXHIBITION, Edmonton, Alta.
Oct. 6 to Dec. 24, 2012
Exhibition Reception: Saturday, Oct. 6 from 2 - 4 p.m.

Passages is an exhibition that combines the projects of four artists
exploring the concept of time and place using different techniques;
knitting, quilting, embroidery, and ceramics. The Isolation Project by
Alana Wilson of Edson, Alta. and Bridget Fairbank, a PGBC member
living in Nelson, B.C., records two lives spent in the isolation of the
Canadian wilderness

fire ob-
servers. Bridget Fair-
bank's 126

small ceramic plates

as tower

uses

to represent each
day that she spent
alone in a fire tower
during her seasonal
job. By altering each
dish, Bridget's per-
sonal take of daily
isolation by way of

routine is imposed

upon each plate.
Alana Wilson created
small embroideries

exploring ideas and

pressures she feels as

an isolated female
in her early thirties.
Margie Davidson of Edmonton, Alta. recorded her year a stitch at
a time in her project: Measuring a Year by the Minute. She knit sixty
stitches per row, 24 rows per day and at the end of the year the project
was an astounding 120 feet in length. From Cumberland, B.C., Marcy
Horswill's fibre work, Through the Other Side of the Fence, explores the
adaptive relationship between wild roses and a metal fence, showing
how the human-built conforms to the natural environment over
time.
6 at the Alberta Craft Council

HOME INSURANCE FOR POTTERS

Hello Guild members: My husband, Vincent Massey, is an established
well known B.C. Potter. We are trying to find another insurance
company to insure our home here in Whistler and are finding that it’s
becoming a very challenging problem. All of the insurance companies
that I have spoken to do not want to consider us as clients due to
the fact that we have a home-based pottery studio and gallery. We
need help! Are there any potters out there with home-based. studios
and galleries that have a decent insurance company? I look forward to
hearing from someone soon. Thank-you!
