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

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. kekkk
