Bainbridge Arts and Crafts Gallery
February 7 - April 6, 2008 I am very excited to have one of my pieces included in this exhibition: Exhibition: Contemporary Craft in BC: Excellence Within Diversity
Location: Vancouver Museum
The Crafts Association in partnership with the Vancouver Museum and the Roundhouse Community Arts and Recreation Centre are presenting work by 80 BC artists of diverse medium (ceramic, fibre, wood, metal, glass and mixed media). This is a professional juried show meant to exemplify innovation, creativity, excitement and discipline in the craft field throughout the province. The show is part of a national initiative Craft Year 2007: Celebration of Craft. 2007 This spring I was very fortunate to travel to Scotland, England and Denmark where I shared some of the weaving techniques and materials that I've been exploring here on Salt Spring Island. 2006 August: 2005 March: I had the honour of being invited along with 7 other Salt Spring artisans, to our sister city Yamanaka, Japan. This thrilling trip was full of inspiring sights and experiences to say the least. Yamanaka is famous for its natural hot springs and lacquer artisans. Our friends and hosts in Yamanaka organized a supremely wonderful 5 days which I, for one, will never forget. After our time in Yamanaka, my friend Rumi and I arranged to visit Beppu where the Bamboo Research Institute and Bamboo Basketry Trade School is located. We also spent a few days in Kyoto and Tokyo to top it all off. It was a magical trip from start to finish. September: 2004 Kevin Wallace, the Juror for Don't Fence Me In - Containing the West wrote:
"A work by Joan Carrigan from her Entwined Series received the HGA Award. This work was utterly charming. Originally a more experimental or contemporary work was considered for the award; however, after spending time walking through the exhibit and looking at the works, I realized that the restraint and subtlety employed by the artist was responsible for a powerful work that remained in the mind and heart much longer than those which offered a greater initial response."
