“Women ceramicists, she said, struggled for recognition, not only because they were female artists, but also because their chosen medium wasn’t as accepted [as fine art] as it is today.

20/20 Perspectives in Canadian Ceramics
The Canadian Clay Symposium offers a unique glimpse into how ceramic artists handle their mud with a 20/20 focus on Canadian perspectives. Symposium participants experience an entire day of in depth conversation with peers and presenters and watch exceptional demos ranging from hand-building, wheel-throwing, slip-casting to atmospheric firing, all with an eye to investigate how Canadian identity is shaped through clay.
The presenters are Carole Epp, Mary Fox, Jeremy Hatch, Steven Heinemann, Cathi Jefferson, Julie Moon, Sarah Pike and Linda Sikora.

On March 27, 2019, as part of the celebration of our new ceramics exhibit, “The Persistence of Mingei: Influence through Four Generations of Ceramic Artists,” we hosted a special gathering with women artists featured in the exhibition. Rebecca Sive moderated this informal conversation, focused on each artist’s ceramic practice, their relationship to the Mingei influence, and the role gender has played in their practice and larger context. Panelists included Margaret Bohls, Linda Christianson, Maren Kloppman, Jan McKeachie-Johnston, Linda Sikora, Sandy Simon, and Rhonda Willers.
