Hi faithful friends, sorry for the delay in postings! Truth be told I am addicted to clay, and now that we have finished our 6-week throwing class there is little else I think about. Not to mention I am facilitating this year’s CHRISTMAS SALE. It’s supposed to be a big deal. Boy you think you’re volunteering to make some posters and before you know it you’re in charge! What happened?!!? Well Powell Riverians this is one sale not to miss. All the hand-crafted items a heart could desire.
Sorry folks, but we must postpone this amazing show til a future date. I will release the info as soon as it is available! Bunk!!
Our gallery is proud to present an exhibit by Vancouver art & junk sculpturalist Connell Ewing. Tony & I knew Connell back in Nelson, I went to the Kootenay School of art with him. He is a wild and prolific artist who makes art out of almost anything. As if the evening couldn’t be more exciting, live electronic music sensation Zawaduk & Gwill will be performing live at the Shampoo-Motor Ranch. Friday, October 16, 7-10 pm.
Friday October 2 at the Gatehouse in Cumberland! Any Powell Riverians want to come? We’re walking on to the ferry Friday morning to set up. Cumberland is a FUN TOWN. They have a knitting store, even. And great bars. And the Patch!
Last month we did our first cone 10 (super-hot) firing at the clay club. i’m talking about Christmas as a kid times 100!!!! That’s how exciting it is to see our stuff come out of the kiln!!! Here are a few shots. You can find out pots at our house and at Only Human in Victoria. 
Looking forward to another great weekend of dancing and jamming with Blackberry Wood! Party is tomorrow & still no muppet costume……
Amrit, Katherine & Jack at the Shampoo-Motor Ranch music salon!
We are back from our journey north to Whitehorse. 
My beautiful little sister was the cool-headed star of her wedding day. Check “Holly Day” for pics coming up shortly. The art exhibit was very well attended indeed and many left with my new mini paintings. As soon as we returned we were off again, to break down shows at Taf’s in Vancouver and Fort St Café in Victoria. While passing through Cumberland we discovered a new gallery and bistro, called the Gatehouse. Very nice, extensively renovated heritage building. They offered me a show for October!
Coming soon to Whitehorse Yukon!
Working furiously in the heat to bring a big batch of new paintings to the Guild Hall in Whitehorse. A great, DYI venue! This show features lots of almost miniature pieces, 7″ x 7″, including the two featured here on the invite, which I finished up today. The title, Duskies, for me, is an expression of the magic I feel when in the Yukon. The endless dusk, the joy, the sadness. And the wonderful animal mythology.
Those of you who were lucky enough to see this band at Diversity Festival will be happy to know that East Vancouver’s Blackberry Wood is coming to the Moose Hall in Powell River!! FRIDAY JUNE 24TH, 9 PM! This band has it all. Accordian, brass, novelty percussion, dancing and wonderful costumes and more. Gypsy Folk? Burlesque Ska? I don’t know! Catch them the following night at the Lund Gazebo!
My friend Skye and I had a killer garage sale last week, 
and I launched my new mini business, signs for sale. Or to give away when the mood strikes, or to trade. I have been feeling a bit guilty about producing art that most people can’t afford. I have always liked the idea of art for the masses. I like that unpolished folk art too. So if you are in PR or specifically Cranberry, have a look by the front door. All signs are $10-$40. I’ll take custom orders too. Examples: RIGHT TO BIKE YOUR IDEAS ARE AMAZING PLEASE NO FLYERS KEEP OUR POWER PUBLIC GREAT NEIGHBOUR AWARD GROW SALAD, NOT SOD!
Please follow the link to my letter to the editor. Our friend was recently hit by a truck while riding her bike on Cranberry Street.
