Here’s the rest of the pottery we made at Chandler Swain’s Pottery Camp. Â Mostly I see these pieces as funny little wobbly things that we made with our very own hands. Their charm lies in their obvious lack of proficiency. The day we picked them up, I made stuffed green peppers for dinner and I was […] GC and I spent last week at Chandler Swain’s pottery camp, on the banks of the Mississippi River in Blakeney, Ontario. There were nine of us at camp, including Chandler and her dog, William. Chandler is my favourite potter, and I’ve collected a variety of her pieces over the years. I have teapots, plates, pitchers, bowls […] I’m thinking about applying to UBC to do a master’s degree in creative writing. I could do it part-time, through distance education. I’m feeling conflicted, though. Part of me says “If you want to write, just write. You don’t need a master’s degree.

[…] Today is the last day of the art contest that could see Keir MacDonald’s artwork hanging in the National Gallery. Keir’s a talented and creative artist, and an interesting and likable young man. I really hope he wins. If you’d like to help, you can view his excellent art and vote for him here. (I […] Here are some of my babies. Kazoo and Duncan Baby Birds The theme of the group art show currently at the John Patrick Mills Gallery on Hinchey Street was LOVE. I should have created some living lovebird art. I didn’t think of it until we were already there. Here’s Jennifer, who works at the […] On Wednesday night GC and I attended the 3rd annual Everybody’s Art Show at Irene’s Pub.
