It's a bit chilly and snowy today but there's been a couple of warm days this winter that have been a bit too warm for comfort.

It’s really tough figuring out what goes in and what to leave out of an artist talk, I mean, I’ve basically got 25 years of homework to review since I was a studio member at North Mount Pleasant Arts Centre. Strap in! 💥😆

Pictured: screenshot from the slides for my talk—many handmade pinched ceramic vases, filled with flowers. I'm trying to cram as many pretty flowers in vases onto one slide as possible, just for the joy of them! All photos taken in my yellow dining room as a backdrop.

Lots of bread--I'm carb-loading for strength tomorrow! Gluten-free vegan sourdough batons, and a tray of raisin ginger sticky buns. Also made my honey a wholemeal sourdough, with my GF starter and some strong spring red wheat bread flour--he says it's delicious, tastes like proper Hovis. I am so happy for him, and equally gutted that I can't stuff a big hunk of it into my face!

Excited to share I’ll be presenting an artist talk on March 28, 7pm, at my clay alma mater--the lovely North Mount Pleasant Art Centre, in Calgary. Hope to see you there!

Poster for an artist talk by Christine Pedersen, on March 28, 2025, at North Mount Pleasant Art Centre in Calgary, Canada. Title is "Pinch, Push, and Flow: Finding a Voice in Clay Through Form and Texture, With a Little Destruction Along The Way". Image shows a collage of porcelain forms in her signature style, with deeply textured and refined modelled surfaces. At the back of the group is a chased bronze circular form representing her studies at AUA in the Jewellery + Metals program.
Quote: "I started clay classes at North Mount in 1996, a year after I emigrated from England to Canada—it was that education and community that helped me develop the skills to set up my home studio. I’ll be diving into my process, doing some demos, and generally obsessing about all things clay (with a bit of metal sneaking in)".
Hope to see you there!

This year I'm bringing more paper colours to the Comic Expo as well as paper sizes. A neutral or light color will speed things along.

See me at table A476 in the Artist Alley! Remember the Artist Alley is NOT in the Big Four building this year.
