Thursday evening saw the opening of three shows in the PoMoArts galleries. A fellow ceramics student from Emily Carr U days, Margaret Hsu, joined me to see what this year’s Ceramics Artist-in-Residence has produced for her year-end solo show.

Georgia Fitton, also an Emily Carr graduate, was already giving pottery classes in the Arts Centre when she was awarded the Ceramics Residency. She tells us that she will continue teaching there after September 1st, but of course will be looking for a new studio to make her own work. I don’t know if the next artist to be awarded the position at PoMoArts has been announced yet. That lucky person will have the use of a tiny, but free pottery studio and access to the facilities for a year, along with a solo show next summer. In return the artist will supervise some clay drop-in sessions and have the opportunity to teach classes. It is hoped that having a different clay artist in residence each year provides inspiration to registered clay students.
