Alberta in a Box: Wide Open

"Cherry Cup", earthen ware with Majolica glaze by Darlene Swan

Swan says: "I enjoy making functional pottery that will be fun to use, as well as visually appealing, when not in use. Much of the inspiration for the decoration comes from my love of colour and of gardening."

This piece is part of Alberta In a Box: Wide Open, a juried travelling exhibition of whimsical and elegant clay work by 39 members of the Alberta Potters Association. The show runs until April 14 with a closure on April 6 & 7 for Easter. The Visual Arts Alberta Gallery is open Wed-Fri 10-4 and Sat 12-4 pm. Drop by for a visit!
