The 2018 Art of Craft Lectures

The 2018  <http://craftcouncilbc.ca/> Craft Council of BC Art of Craft
Lectures provides lovers of fashion, art jewellery and those who see their
bodies as a canvas for self-expression with an opportunity to explore
Canada's contemporary art jewellery scene. It is a series of three lectures
that will take place on April 30th, May 7th and May 14th at the Annex
Theatre, Vancouver. Tickets are available on

April 30th - Andy Cooperman

The first lecture is on April 30th and features Seattle artist,
<https://www.andycooperman.com/> Andy Cooperman. Cooperman is a metalsmith,
educator and writer that works from his Seattle studio where he builds
jewellery and objects for exhibitions and private clients. His work and
writing have appeared in blogs, magazines and books-including Humor in
Craft, Art Jewelry Today (I, II & III) and The Penland Book of Jewelry-and
is held in private and public collections such as the Victoria and Albert
Museum, Central College in Pella Iowa, and the Tacoma Art Museum.

 

May 7th - Bridget Catchpole

 

The second lecture, May 7th, is the ever engaging
<https://www.bridgetcatchpole.com/> Bridget Catchpole. As a Vancouver- based
jewellery artist, Catchpole's work often conveys the dichotomies between
worth and waste. Bridget upcycles non-recyclable and found plastics to use
as raw material in her one-of-a-kind pieces. Currently, her work looks at
patterns of plastic waste and how it has become ubiquitous presence in the
natural environment.

 

May 14th - Pamela Ritchie      

 

The 2017
<http://canadacouncil.ca/spotlight/2017/02/saidye-bronfman-award-40> Saidye
Bronfman winner,  <http://pamelaritchie.ca/> Pamela Ritchie will be our 3rd
speaker. Ritchie, a jewellery artist out of Hubley, NS, will be presenting
the final lecture on May 14th. Pamela creates jewellery that explores
linkages between traditional craft processes, contemporary ideas of science
and culture, and the language of alternative materials. Her work celebrates
the concentrating effect of detail and the paradox that an abundance of
ideas, form and pattern can be encapsulated in very small objects.
