Another great kiln unloading morning. James Lash is hitting home runs with his classic car plates and Dan Tell's "Danville" platter is jaw dropping. Kaori Gokita is loving blowing bubbles for these gorgeous pieces. Linda Shier contributed one of her very popular fish trays.
Snap Photo Squad did a photo essay of Metrotown in Burnaby. They caught some interesting textural compositions. Sheldon Simons took these amazing cloud shots. He's a master at what he does. Sheri Lynn Seitz is the texture expert and she lived up to the title yesterday also.
Yesterday was the 77th birthday of Miss Linda Shier. Linda was the first PotteryWorks artist, 25 years ago. We all love Miss Shier, she's the heart of our studio. Although she has retired, we still get to spend one day a week in the studio with her. Happy Birthday Miss Linda !
We just had a new group of original paintings professionally scanned. Visit our Colour Collective website on the shop page, for a complete selection. We print them in house, and we can print any size. These are very high quality prints, that look identical to the original work.
We produced a series of Ikebana flower arrangers and Matcha bowls. Kaori Gokita has been bubbling away with her glazes and the result is breath taking. James Lash contributed this "Jamestown" tray and Linda Raudonus did a perfect job on the evergreen themed pot. Have a look !
Snap Photo Squad revisited Central Park yesterday, since the changing season's offer new views of this park. Of course Sheldon Simons caught some great animal shots, he's the animal whisperer. Bradley Merritt and Kaori Gokita caught some of the beauty of Central Park's greenery.
Linda Raudonus has enjoyed a run of successful paintings. Linda's abstract works are very popular at shows, but it's time to progress. Linda's experiment with an abstracted landscape, was a hit at last years Inclusion Show, so she's been developing new works using that concept.
Our newest artist Bradley Merritt, is a very versatile, creative man. Bradley loves wheel throwing and is producing a series of pots, with flags of the world themes. We couldn't talk about Bradley's skills though without mentioning his new found passion for his photography.
We're blowing bubbles in PotteryWorks studio having some summertime fun with bubble glazing. Our artists love the process and it's a break from some of the intense work they do. The effect is very popular with our customers and lots of laughs doing it. Have a look at the results
What a Monday kiln unloading So many beautiful pieces, it's hard to choose. James Lash is the star of this show, with his car plates and the Iris patterned serving set. The floral set is from Dan Tell and Kaori Gokita produced the beautiful floral platter with Japanese script.
We asked Sheldon Simons, to pick his favourite 10 photos from this past year. We want to print photo Giclee's of his work for upcoming shows. We have to whittle this group down to 3 or 4 shots, but that's going to be a difficult task looking at the quality of these 10 picks.
The Colour Collective's Dan Tell is almost finished with his Impressionist landscape, a serene view. Sangeeta Rehki is on track to offer another stunning winter scene for our show season. Geoffrey Lee is so excited about his work and is producing some stunning abstract paintings.
The Colour Collective are so busy during their studio days, developing new cards and paintings. We're kind of jealous, they're having so much fun. The rush is on though, to finish the work for upcoming show season. Here's a batch of the latest cards from them.
Biggest thanks to Tamara Taggart and Down's Syndrome B.C. for the invitation to participate in their Three Twenty-One Summit, Sept 27th, at Harris Barn in Delta. Our artists love to participate in events, so we are really beyond excited. Tickets are available on their website.
What a big load of exceptional work we unloaded this morning. We have to start with this Dan Tell "Danville" platter and a Linda Shier fish plate. James Lash is continuing his classic car themed plates and Kaori Gokita produced this tea pot and tumbler in a fun floral design !
Snap Photo Squad re-visited Vancouver's Chinatown. They previously spent a day there and found some incredible images but felt they weren't finished with it. We think they were right, judging by these captivating images they found on their second visit. We present Chinatown 2.0
Mark your calendars! This October 22nd and 23rd is the 21st annual Inclusion Art Show & Sale, and PotteryWorks is in attendance! Come meet our talented artists and see the incredible pottery and stunning paintings they've made over the last year. We hope to see you there!
Sheri Lynn Seitz is a triple threat, painter, photographer and potter. but her photographic skills have always been strongest. We call her "Eagle Eye" , since she just finds interesting views on the world. Here's a group of her best of this year destined for Inclusion Show 2025.
Preparing for Inclusion Art Show we're reviewing last year's photos from Snap Photo Squad. These shots are from Sheldon Simons a master at what he does. Sheldon has an eye for composition and we call him the animal whisperer. Look at what the talented Sheldon Simons has produced
Real treasures were found this morning in our glaze kilns starting with this miraculous Ami Sangha hand built serving set. Linda Raudonus glazed this blue dip set and Kaori Gokita has been experimenting and developed this colourful floral pattern on green background. Have a look
