On my way in to Granville Island on Wednesday afternoon I stopped in at the Western Front to drop off all the finished plates and to have a cuppa with Eric Metcalfe. Paul Mathieu arrived soon after, having cycled up from Emily Carr U after teaching his class. Both were jumping-up-and-down anxious to see their finished work!     P1040178

 

 

 

Renée, Elizabeth and Mina couldn’t join us but will pick up their pieces soon. And Jacquie, equally excited, popped up to Eric’s studio/apartment from her office on the main floor for a few minutes. So I have some photos here of them, their work and their happy faces!

The final photo of six squarish plates shows the set for the Western Front Gala Dinner & Auction event on February 28th 2015. There’s a preview evening on Wednesday Feb 25th. Here is a link to our page in the auction catalogue. There’s a nice little blurb explaining who ‘The Raiders’ are and my contribution to the process. http://westernfrontauction2015.tumblr.com/post/108207043605/the-raiders-in-order-from-left-to-right-mina
