The Potters Place Gallery Feature and Guest Artists for September 2018
The Potters Place Gallery’s feature artist for the month of September is local potter Laurie Davis.
Laurie’s love of clay began over 40 years ago when she first threw on the wheel. In her work she explores our fragility as humans, as well as our need to communicate and understand each other and the Earth in which we live. Every piece she makes is carefully thought out to be enjoyed.
The Gallery will also display the work of wife and husband Louise Card and Craig Rogers, as guest artists.
Louise uses very few tools and the simple methods of coil and/or slab building to produce thematically related vessels. Typically her pieces have many layers of washes/glazes and are fired in an electric kiln to cone 5 or 6.
Craig returned to pottery following a long culinary career. His ceramic work is thrown, functional and decorative, using multiple slip and over-glaze brushwork. His work takes a special interest in the connection between clay and food.
The Potters Place Gallery is located at the corner of 5th Street and Cliffe Avenue in downtown Courtenay. It is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. For more information on the Gallery see us on Facebook, go to www.thepottersplace.ca, or call (250) 334-4613.
