		<title>Alberta/BC in a Box</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Quentin Randall at Medalta has sent this invitation to the joint showing of Alberta/BC in a Box. I saw the Alberta part late last year (see posts for Wide Open Nov 17/11) and as mentioned yesterday the complete BC part will be shown in Seattle as part of NCECA. Our theme is On the Edge.

		<title>BC Potters at NCECA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The BC Potters Guild newsletter arrived promptly today and as usual editor Melany Hallam has produced a professional, informative and really interesting publication. There is an extensive review by member Kathryn O'Regan of Brendan Tang's talk to the Contemporary Arts Society the other day, illustrated with several of Brendan's complex Manga Ormolu creations. Our BC [...]]]></description>

		<title>Green, Blue-Billed Bird Teapot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I've added 2 photos from Land Artist Chris Mackenzie to my blog of Jan 10th, and a little more on the 2D art currently on display at Port Moody Art Centre. Yesterday it was time to open my latest glaze kiln and retrieve some ordered pieces - the 8 jugbirds for Crafthouse YVR, a flicker [...]]]></description>

		<title>Snowy day in Port Moody</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today was a good day not to drive in to Vancouver, so we still haven't been to see the Audain Collection at VAG. But there was an impressive snowfall last night and we don't have Winter tires. I terra sigged the bases of the 13 pieces that I've managed to complete since early December and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Land Art in Port Moody</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The official opening of Port Moody Art Centre's current shows will take place on Thursday evening Jan 12th. between 6 and 8pm. But the work has been on view since last week, partly I'm sure so that Land Artist and photographer Chris MacKenzie can have one of his two planned outdoor Art pieces installed before [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kwai Sang Wong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Thursday evening June MacDonald and I drove over to Place des Arts in Coquitlam for the opening of Fraser Valley potter Kwai Sang Wong's show: 'When Imagination Meets Clay'. Winnie started pottery lessons with June at Place des Arts several years ago so was pleased to have the show of her recent work on [...]]]></description>

		<title>NCECA in Seattle March 28-31</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that the Christmas season is over and other people are back at work or school I'm quite content to be back in the studio. I've read the same sentiment from several artist friends on facebook. We look forward to family and celebrating time but actually enjoy solo time doing our chosen passion just as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Days will get longer now!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As we prepare for Christmas I have failed to complete the jugbirds I started for YVR Crafthouse. Unrealistically I said I could get them done in 3 weeks, ie about now. They are thrown and have their beaks inserted. I have also designed and made a bird teapot ordered a while ago to match a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Eric enjoys his new plates</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I opened my latest firing. Along with my usual jugbirds I fired 3 oval plates and a larger platter for Vancouver artist Eric Metcalfe. He enjoys the change from his usual practice of 2D paintings with gouache. On bone-dry slab plates that I make for him he first draws with pencil and then applies [...]]]></description>

		<title>Salmon, a Woodpecker and old wallpaper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It's so good to be able to take a walk at the end of Burrard Inlet. Alan and I watched the last of the salmon drifting in Noon's Creek, having completed their epic journey. The creek was roaring down from the mountain after serious rain the day before. I thought I'd just get another kiln [...]]]></description>
