Janet is thrilled to have been invited by the organizers of the prestigious 260 Fingers exhibition to participate in this year’s show! This annual event features 26 of Ontario’s best ceramicists and so is not one to miss!

The show starts with an opening celebration at 6pm on Friday November 8th, and will continue on Saturday and Sunday, November 9th and 10th, at the Glebe Community Centre in Ottawa. Full details are available on the website here: https://www.260fingers.ca/.

By invitation, Janet’s new work will be on show in the Creative Conservatory of the Cline House Gallery, located at 204 2nd St E, Cornwall, Ontario, in July 2023.

The Cline Gallery is thrilled to feature Janet’s work in the Creative Conservatory. "Process and Progression" is a series of new work focusing on transitions from hard surface exteriors to hidden interior spaces. Echoing the curving, sinuous forms of nature, Janet's vessels speak to the impact, interaction and quality of line. The use of openings into the bodies of the pots adds the essential element of negative space and creates a diversity of connections inviting the viewer inside.

"With clay, I can create sinuous curved forms which define contained space, have movement, balance, and surfaces which invite touch.  Coiling facilitates the shapes of growth, asymmetries, and interrelationships on which the forms depend.  Fifty years of working to reach this point leave me wanting more time with clay." - Janet Keefe, May 2017

Visit the Dust Evans Gallery for this exhibition of recent works by Janet Keefe.

 

The considered art of coiling is probably the most ancient but under-appreciated construction method and ranges from the most primitive to extremely sophisticated work.  Making and firing offer chances to simply connect with earth and fire, while the ideas expressed connect with today's world.

This way of making is uniquely rhythmic and calming, offering tranquility and quiet contemplation while working with the ever intriguing material - clay.

This workshop is presented by the Ottawa Guild of Potters.
