We are still
switching up the theme each year to keep things fresh… it started with cups…
then spoons … this year’s theme is an
ode to tools!

Last year for the SPOON
ME exhibition we were considering adding some of the scoops and spoons from
Medalta’s historic collection of great old objects from our three abandoned ceramic
factories. We have over 7 acres of
roofed buildings on our 150 acre historic clay district site here at Medalta…
so you can imagine there’s more than a few amazing old tools. Well, we didn’t
want leave out this tool treasure trove in favour of the old spoons, so the
object for the next international exhibition theme was an easy choice.

description of how this tool is an integral part of your process… and of
course we still want to show off what you can create with these great tools of
our trade so submissions will also include up to 5 photos of your work.
