Carol-Ann Michaelson's Wood Fired bowl

The Artists of the Limberlost Studio Tour is pleased to have Carol-Ann Michaelson as a guest potter at Brian Markham's Limberlost Woodturning studio.  The pairing of Brian's wooden platters with Carol-Ann's pottery bowls creates a beautiful display in a woodland setting.

Carol-Ann Michaelson's Tenmoku glaze bowl

Carol-Ann states, "My primary pursuit revolves around functional forms, pieces that are lovely to look at, to hold and to use.  I believe that it is through the handling and use of pottery that its true beauty is revealed.  I design pots with people and their daily rituals in mind.  I have recently purchased a gas kiln and have been enjoying the challenges the new glazes and clay bodies offer me.  I see new forms and ideas rapidly developing with this change.

A Successful Show

The Kingsway Lambton Art Show last Saturday was a huge success.  The sunny weather with the promise of spring had many Toronto residents out of the house and wanting to take in an art show.  People loved to touch the wood, hear the story of the making of the piece and imagine it in their homes.

The sales were brisk and it was a time to give out our brochures and promote the summer and fall studio tours.  Many people have cottages in Muskoka or are planning their vacations around artistic events so we hope to see them again.
