Hi,
A friend of mine is wanting to receive an education in ceramic
art/sculpure, living in Vancouver, and spending part time in
Saltsprings. Any suggestions, besides Robin Hopper's school in Victoria,
which I assume is a great summer opportunity but perhaps more geared
toward pottery than she has an interest?
Thanks,
Centa

The Shadbolt Centre has ongoing classes with very good instructors who make
wonderful pots and their living in clay, Kwantalin college and Capilano
college have good programs, Emily Carr institute of Art and Design is
another option.
Your friend should shop around and see what best fits where she is right
now.
A place to start might be the BC potters Guild at www.bcpotters.com She can
check with them on other sculptors and get more in depth advice.
She could also contact me if she needs info about opportunities on the mid
island. There are some good workshops coming up at the Arrowsmith Guild in
Parksville, and Metchosin has Jeff Oestreich in a few weeks. There is a
huge clay symposium at the Shadbolt in Vancouver this weekend but I believe
it is sold out.
Hope this helps
