ee ri de Sd ae ie ae ae aed “with. the - This month [I want to draw your attention to four interesting events happen- ing in our arts community. First is the news of a re- cently formed group calling themselves PENINSULA CLAY Artists. A sampling of their work can be seen in the cur- rent Sidney Historical Mu- seum show. -Many of the clay artists are familiar, but there are some new names as well. The show is displayed so that you can see the diver- sity in their approach to their medium. Well-known potters, John and Diana An- derson, are present with their lovely stoneware, raku and hand-decorated. porce- lains. Many will recognize the fine work of Betty Fulton and Arlene’ McKenzie, along with such other ex- cellent.craftspersons as Jo- celyn Angus and Susan Hirst. Maureen Swaboda’s low fired decorative ma- jolica pieces, swirling with colour and energy, are there and are always fun. New to me was the high . fired porcelains of Terry Ryals, the hand built deco- rative forms of’ Lorraine ': Kupfer and the Japanese: : style of work from Norimi Inai. oS STtis great to see the en-~ - ergy and excitement of this. |- ‘a newly-formed group of | © artists in’ our community. ‘s: “My. personal experience Deep..
