FVPG 50th Anniversary Juried Show

Our April passed in a blur of packing or leaving our old house looking immaculate for potential buyers. I think May will be better, starting for me with a return to the world of ceramics. I was happy to join fellow potters Carlene, Eliza and Kay for the drive in to Vancouver’s Italian Cultural Centre to attend the opening of Fraser Valley Potters Guild’s annual juried show last Thursday May 3rd. This year the guild celebrates its first fifty years!

My photographs show pieces that I enjoyed. There were many attendees and I wasn’t able to see all the work! For the list of Winners and Honorary Mentions and more news on the opening, go to FVPG’s website to read the post by Amy Gogarty. https://fraservalleypottersguild.com/news

This year’s juror was recently-retired MOA Ceramics curator and NorthWest Ceramics Foundation board member Dr Carol E. Mayer.
