Event Details:

In his visually striking presentation, Al Pace shares his personal journey of how canoeing wilderness rivers of the Northwest Territories over 45-years has influenced his creative process working in high-fired stoneware. From the big-sky, tundra landscapes north of the Arctic Circle to the rugged and raw peaks of the Mackenzie Mountains, Al's bold forms and layered glazes often reflect the textures and rhythms of this mysterious northern landscape. Al's life-journey combines his love of adventure with his passion for creating vessels with a distinctly Canadian flavour.
