From the BC Potters Guild newsletter, for FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 9th.
PANEL DISCUSSION: “THROWN”, Vancouver
MARK YOUR CALENDARS! The North-West Ceramics Society is pleased to be sponsoring a special panel discussion on the exhibition and subsequent catalogue “Thrown: British Columbia’s Apprentices of Bernard Leach and their Contemporaries” published by the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery of the University of British Columbia. “Thrown” was recently reviewed by long-time PGBC member Keith Rice-Jones in the August newsletter, and it is available for $60 in the Gallery of BC Ceramics. The panel will feature a slide presentation and discussion with Director/Curator of the Belkin and co-curator of Thrown, Scott Watson; Emily Carr University instructor and well-known ceramist Paul Mathieu and Tam Irving, one of the artists featured in the exhibition and the book. This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the talented artists who contributed so significantly to the history of ceramics in our province. The panel will take place on Friday, September 9 at 7:30 p.m . in Room 245, North Building of Emily Carr University of Art + Design (1399 Johnston Street, Granville Island, Vancouver). All are welcome and encouraged to attend.

This is a link to an interesting article on the subject by Adele Weder in ‘The Tyee’ entitled ‘”Thrown”: Respect For The Ordinary Pot.’ Who could resist an article with that title?
