Well I’ve just recently returned from a well needed break and vacation visiting family in Victoria, taking the time (which we rarely give ourselves) to walk along the beach, marveling at the flowers still blooming everywhere (quite different from the snow that’s beginning to fall outside of my window back home!) spending hours discovering the treasures in neat little consignment shops and eating marvelous food I didn’t have to cook myself! And so while I was gone I admittedly did sorta shut down the ceramic part of my brain for a bit, and so now that I’m back I figured I’d better make up for that. So in the spirit of thinking of BC I’ve found a website with a number of listings of galleries in the island area for anyone interested in getting exposure for their work out there – it is after all a great tourist market! So check out the Crafts Association of British Columbia website for more info.

And here’s a site for BC artist Margit Nellemann. The site is unfortunately still under construction, but I’m patiently waiting for an update as the work looks pretty interesting.

(and thanks to dad for the awesome picture taken on our hike to go and see the salmon run!)
