Here's a flashback to 2022 and the most unique show at the Plaskett Gallery, Massey Theatre.
We exhibited a series of vignettes with our pottery and paintings displayed together. It was a stunning way to show our work and how each piece could look in an actual home. Enjoy this !

We're working on Photo Giclee's for upcoming shows and wanted to share some Snap Photo Squad works. Sheldon Simons, Sheri Lynn Seitz and Bradley Merritt have been making weekly excursions into our beautiful Lower Mainland and finding some very evocative shots. Have a look at them

Our usual Monday morning kiln unloading today, with a gorgeous Ryley Jensen Fisk Ramen bowl and a Linda Raudonus Abstract Plate. Dan Tell's "Danville" plate is always the star of the show. Kaori Gokita's blue flower plate is perfectly painted as usual.

Snap Photo Squad couldn't wait to explore downtown Vancouver yesterday, to experience the FIFA World Cup preparations. They found the downtown area buzzing with activity, and some very interesting shots. FIFA fever has definitely hit Vancouver, and the Photo Squad captured it.

James Lash is smiling, since he's finished his latest work and Bradley Merritt is pushing ahead with his Beluga painting. Dan Tell has two paintings developing at once, such dedication. Sangeeta Rehki is producing gorgeous winter landscapes, three so far for Inclusion Art Show.

Behind the beautiful paintings and pottery, is an opportunity to develop focus and concentration, self discipline and self esteem, as studies show. A case in point is Bradley Merritt, who as he grows creatively, at an incredible pace, is also learning important life skills.

Bradley Merritt is continuing his series of with this Beluga Whale plate. James Lash has another installment in his series of abstract pieces and Linda Shier's fish trays are always gorgeous. Dan Tell produced this "Danville" plate with the usual whimsical neighbourhood vibe.

Yesterday, Snap Photo Squad visited Surrey Art Centre and caught some great shots inside. The photographers found some interesting works, including a sculpture by one of our favourite people and supporter of our studio, Keith Rice Jones. Enjoy this trip through the gallery.

Kaori Gokita is a Diesel engine of creative energy. Kaori is a painter, potter, photographer and loves to sketch. Wow! On top of all that, Kaori wants to learn some pottery production skills. So, she is working with staff member Danielle, to learn how to slip-cast our moulds.

You can't run a pottery studio, for artists with diverse abilities , without very special potters. Arlynn Nobel, Jesselin T'Kenye, Ami Sangha and Moni Feizabadi, are all talented potters, who come to our studio to teach our artists to thrive. We thank you with sincerest gratitude

Ryley Jensen Fisk has turned out these spectacular Ramen bowls. Linda Raudonus continues her Mid-Century Modern inspired design. James Lash has really captured the whimsy of Maud Lewis with this platter. Arlynn Nobel's mugs are always a highlight in our kilns. Have a look !

Yesterday Snap Photo Squad took the Q to Q ferry to Queensborough and found some beautiful nature shots. The trip across the Fraser River was the fun part but they equally enjoyed exploring and finding natural settings. I'm sure they'll decide to revisit Queensborough again soon.

We've seen James Lash produce many gorgeous paintings. However we've ever seen him quite as excited about a work as he is about his latest landscape. This work is being considered for Inclusion Show 2026 poster, even though it's still being developed. James is full of smiles.

Artist Lydia Kim has an enormous creative energy. Lydia paints draws hand builds, wheel throws and glaze designs her own work. Recently, Lydia created a new series of cards, each unique and featuring a cast of characters that give us a view inside of Lydia's world. Enjoy the view

Yesterday, Snap Photo Squad visited New Westminster's venerable Queen's Park. Our local green space never disappoints, with a wide variety of activities and environments, the photographers always manage to find interesting subjects. Have a look at Queen's Park through their eyes.

We want to give a shout out to long time Colour Collective member Geoffrey Lee. Geoffrey is an experimental painter, he's up for trying anything. In the past few months, Geoffrey has been trying new techniques and developing a new direction for his abstract paintings, every week.

James Lash and Sangeeta Rekhi have been working hard at their Maud Lewis project. The results are beyond our expectations. It's rewarding to watch the work of a beloved Canadian artist, inspiring our artists to create that feeling of innocence and a time long past in our country
