New this season:
Reid Flock’s hand-built, (not made on a potter’s wheel, but laboriously fabricated by hand), decorative clay vessels by will astound with subtle beauty and originality. Resident in Japan for the last 9 years, but returned home in 2009, this master ceramic artist presents a new look and style in his delicate exotic approach to porcelain forms and glazes.
Shane Norrie, known internationally for his ceramic art, premiers his paintings this season with lush renderings that spring from nature’s inspiration.
Marie Bohm brings us new luminous glass vessels inspired by the watery environs of the Great Lakes.
Amanda Cuffe’s new paintings are a riot of colour – she animates her distinctive decorative sense with rhythmic designs.
Johnnene Maddison’s new work this season reflects her startlingly original use of colour and pattern.
Bruce Millen’s impeccably subtle atmospheric photographs are a new ‘take’ on last year’s explorations of the Bruce.
Susan Skaith scoured the world’s largest gem and mineral show in Tucson for just the right materials to create her new original and sensuous earth-honouring jewellery.
After a one-year hiatus, Rosemary Sloot presents a major painting characteristic of her spiritual vision and drawn from her Provincial traveling exhibition.
Ruth Strebe’s new depictions of last Summer’s visit to the Bruce will delight with their joyous and personal shoreline views.
