Fired Up! Contemporary Works in Clay

Fired Up! -Contemporary Works in Clay A 40th Anniversary Celebration of Canadian Ceramic Arts The first Fired Up! Contemporary Works in Clay ceramics exhibition was hosted in Metchosin 40 years ago by the renowned Robin Hopper and Judi Dyelle when they brought together 12 ceramic artists whose goal was to show the public the many diverse ways of working with clay and to promote the understanding and appreciation of ceramics as an art form. This spring, the Fired Up! group celebrates their 40th anniversary as the longest running ceramic exhibition group in Canada. In recognition of this impressive milestone, they will feature contemporary work from current artists, and iconic work from past members in their weekend show at the Metchosin Community Hall (4401 William Head Rd), May 25-26. Fired Up! consistently offers an opportunity for the public to meet some of BC's best-known ceramics artists, and to have first-hand access to their work. Together, the 28 past and present members represent some of the most important and influential Canadian ceramic artists of our time. This is a unique opportunity to view the work of these “influencers” who have helped put Canada on the ceramic arts map, and whose knowledge and expertise continue to be foundational to practicing ceramic artists in the field.
