Now Available at Catfish Moon Folk Art and Craft, July 22, 2016

This past Wednesday I dropped of some work at Catfish Moon in scenic, historic Annapolis Royal and am very excited to now have items available at this venue.  Catfish Moon is a very lovely shop/gallery/studio specializing in folk art while offering a variety of work by a number of artisans.  The owners are a couple who are retired from their successful studio pottery practice of the same name, although Angela continues to create beautiful felted landscapes which are available for sale.  

The gallery is open May - October, every day from 10am - 5pm, at 170 Saint George Street.  It is located downtown, close to the historic Farmers and Traders market; a fabulous huge outdoor market which runs on  Saturdays from 8am - 1pm, late May - early October, with a smaller version on Wednesdays in July and August from 10am - 2pm.

I brought in a selection of pieces from the most recent firing.  First, the farm animals:


Farm animal group shop; most were similar in size except for one larger sheep

Pig and horse

Two chickens and a mouse

Goat and cow

 
Side view of that larger sheep


Next, a four new wildlife pieces.  Annapolis Royal is less than an hour from the main, inland part of  Kejimkujik National Park, which is home to all sorts of animals endemic to Canada.

Now Available at The Dart Gallery, November 5th 2015

Here are pics of some new work I dropped off at The Dart Gallery in Dartmouth, this past Tuesday November 3rd.  

The gallery just won Gold for its second year in a row, in The Coast's Best of Halifax awards.  Congratulations Jane!

Here are the new pieces from this most recent firing, starting with four bowls.  Everything in this post is cone 6 stoneware:

The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia Shop is shut temporarily as they're relocating across the hall to make room for the Pavia Gallery - Espresso Bar & Cafe to open a tasty cafe!  The following are a few pieces from previous firings that were at the shop, and are now at Dart:


Fox Mug

Bunny figurine
Buffalo
Two more standing fox figurines  - these are a little larger
Crow Cup

As of Tuesday The Dart Gallery is also now selling copies of my self-published rhyming storybook:  "What If Michelangelo Was A Telemarketer", $10 each.

I also dropped off a bunch of ornaments, but out of respect and gratitude for all veterans I'll post those pics later.  The Dart Gallery honours Remembrance Day and doesn't start getting geared up for the holidays until later in the month.
