Pottery Throw Down
Atlantic Canada Potters
Hosted by Craft Nova Scotia.
Craft Nova Scotia hosted a virtual Atlantic Canada pottery throwdown via zoom on October 17th, it's been recorded and it can now be seen on the Craft Nova Scotia facebook page.
Potters joined Craft Nova Scotia on Zoom at their wheels and/or workbenches and the public was invited to watch, ask questions and comment.
Julie Rosvall, Program Director and host, started the event by introducing Craft Nova Scotia and the current exhibit at the Mary Black Gallery. Potters from around Atlantic Canada were then introduced and showed a behind the scenes look into their studios.
Each potter had 6-7 lbs of clay. All at the same time the potters started their creations with a time limit of 20 minutes. Each artist made something completely different, throwing large and small, coiling and hand-building. Watch the video to see the potter's hands at work, and the vessels taking shape.
