With the opening of Hot Mud: Emerging Canadian Ceramists just around the corner I thought it would be nice to introduce you all to the amazing artists selected for the show. If you are in the Burlington Ontario area please make sure to check out the exhibition in person, and the symposium on the new face of Canadian Ceramics. Bound to be a great one. Today’s emerging artist Marianne Chenard will be part of the round table discussion.
