1.) Lark books published <a href="http://www.larkcrafts.com/craft-your-life/introducing-500-teapots-volume-2/">500 teapots volume II</a> at the end of the summer. King's Point Pottery is one of the 500 artists. This is our second lark book we were selected for. The first was Plates and Chargers. Thank you to Lark for including us again. We do have both lark books available for purchase at our gallery.<br />

The <a href="http://www.thebac.ca/">Burlington Arts Centre</a>, in Ontario currently has a show on until the middle of January 2014 called " <a href="http://www.slateartguide.com/listing.php?lid=263474214622971702">Salt Soda and Wood</a>". We are a part of that group show. Thank you to Jonathan Smith for including us in our very first Burlington event.

3.) The world famous, <a href="http://www.sofaexpo.com/">SOFA</a> Chicago, USA is on starting November 01, 2013. We applied and were invited on an educational mission to this world's biggest one of a kind (gallery craft) exhibition. There, you could buy for the same price, either a house or a piece of craft...amazing! We are very excited for our first trip to Sofa and Chicago.<br />
<br />
(Unfortunately it is on at the very same time as the CCNL <a href="http://www.craftcouncil.nl.ca/news/craft-fair-coming-soon/"> xmas craft fair </a>at the arts and culture centre in St John's, NL...so we are missing that wonderful show for the first time in 21 years! But we hope you don't miss the finest craft fair in St John's! 6th to the 10th of November 2013)<br />
<br />
There is a whole lot more happening but a bit too early to blog about just yet. We will keep you posted!<br />
<br />
Best wishes to all,<br />

<br />
King's Point Pottery has just been notified that they have been selected as one of the 500 international works to be included in latest version of "500 teapots V2" by <a href="http://larkcrafts.com/500-series/">Lark</a> Publications based in Asheville, North Carolina, USA. (The very first in the wildly popular 500 series was coincidentally "500 teapots V1" way back in 2002.) This is the second time we have been published with Lark. Our first was in their <a href="http://www.larkcrafts.com/bookstore/?isbn=9781579906887">500 plates and chargers</a> book in 2008. Sorry but I am not going to include an image of the specific work, as I wish it to be a little bit of a surprise when it comes out later this year. Thank you very much to lark and their expert jury for the honour...and of course our many customers for supporting our work.<br />
best Linda Yates and David Hayashida<br />

King's Point Pottery Fine Craft Gallery was recently profiled by Arts Quest or<a href="http://www.artsquest.ca/"> http://www.artsquest.ca/</a><br />
I call them the new Canadian "Etsy"....that is to say they are developing a new online full service sales site for fine craft and fine art types from Canada only.<br />
<br />
Prior to putting the finishing touches on their e-commerce site they are laying the real honest ground work by travelling right across the country visiting crafts persons, arts persons and...discovering them, interviewing them and learning about them in general.<br />
<br />
Here is the link to their blog-video of our interview here in Newfoundland:<br />

Hope you enjoy it and I recommend you continue to check out their other interesting interviews!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://www.jonathons.ca/">Jonathon Bancroft-Snell Gallery</a></b></span> is featured in an article from the very latest issue of Ontario's (Canada) Fusion Magazine (Vol. 36, No. 2). The writer Judy Donaldson discusses the fantastic national ceramics show from the summer called "Matter of Clay III" by the JBS Gallery. Having been lucky enough to attend the opening in person (as did 49 other artists of the 102 showing work from across Canada) I can tell you it was all time Canadian highlight in my 20 years in the business! Can't wait for the next Matter of Clay. Above photo is from Fusion article and courtesy of JBS Gallery...great company to be in!!!!!<br />
<br />
Jonathon has invited King's Point Pottery to send work to yet another national show this summer at the JBS Gallery. The title has gone out of my head...mmm...have to call Jonathon on that one! Oh...Linda just reminded me , it is "Yesterday and Today" from August 09 to September 01, 2012 at the Jonathon Bancroft-Snell Gallery in London, Ontario, Canada. Hope anyone in the London Ontario area this summer will be able to stop by and check it out!david hayashidahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16246111806023796792noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129674324929900063.post-64337166406899287212012-04-30T17:45:00.000-07:002012-04-30T17:45:50.334-07:00Iced-bergy bowl from Seattle Soda firing.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The objective was to get soda ice built up on the work. Some how it is fitting (and a bit strange at the same time,) that someone living in Newfoundland would in the 100th anniversary year of the sinking of the Titanic (just off our coast) be making iceberg bowls (carved from solid lumps of white clay) and want them glazed with soda ice crystals by a potter from down under. Well as you can see...it definitely worked. The clay for this piece is a white (raku) sculpture clay cone 10 with 25% 30-80 mesh grog by <a href="http://www.tuckerspottery.com/">Tuckers Pottery Supply</a> from Ontario, Canada. The workshop was held during <a href="http://www.nceca.net/">NCECA 2012</a> at the amazing facility called <a href="http://www.potterynorthwest.org/">Pottery Northwest</a> in Seattle, Washington, USA.<br />

I was right there, in Asheville NC, USA, a few years back, the home of Lark Books who are known around the world for their 500 series on craft books. While it was not a big memorable space, was a place I'll never forget in terms of craft literature! Anyways... they just had a call for submissions for a new "500 teapots" that just closed. Unfortunately, we won't know for months if none, one.. or any of our four submissions will be included in their newest book. But having been in their 2008 book "500 plates and chargers"...we have our fingers and toes crossed for continued success in this next 500 series!<br />
<br />
(Oh and the yellow teapot shown above...not ours..but I'd hit "like" for sure!)<br />

We likely do not mention this organization as much as we really should. The <a href="http://www.nlac.ca/">Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council </a> gave us a major grant back on 15 May 2011 to hire a world class writer, curator...a.k.a.Gloria Hickey to assist in getting our first Saidye Bronfman Award Nomination package together and a million other things surrounding that huge effort overseen by the nominating group, The Craft Council of Newfoundland and Labrador. The NLAC covers grants and awards for everything from dance, film, multidiscipline, music, theatre, visual art, to writing. We wish to say a really wonderful grand thank you to the NLAC (and the province of NL who strongly support the NLAC's efforts) for all their valuable hard work....and to say the final report will be in the mail tomorrow!<br />

<br />OFFICIAL MEDIA RELEASE</div>
<br /><div align="center">From: Craft Council of Newfoundland and Labrador</div>
<br /><div align="center">
<br />LOCAL CRAFTSPEOPLE NOMINATED FOR</div>
<br /><div align="center">PRESTIGIOUS NATIONAL AWARD
<br />*For immediate release.</div>
<br /><div align="center">
<br />ST. JOHN’S, NL (August 15, 2011) – The Craft Council of Newfoundland and Labrador recently nominated two of its members for the Saidye Bronfman Award, Canada’s foremost distinction for excellence in fine craft. Linda Yates and David Hayashida will compete nationally for the award and its $25,000 prize, which is presented annually to exceptional fine craft artists.
<br />
<br />The collaborating duo operates a studio, King’s Point Pottery, in rural Newfoundland and specializes in salt/soda firing and high-fired functional stoneware. “For more than 18 years, Linda Yates and David Hayashida have consistently evolved an ever-greater range of ceramic art, capturing the essence of contemporary Newfoundland culture and the attention of collectors, curators and critics,” noted Craft Council executive director Anne Manuel.
<br />
<br />“With several provincial and national awards already under their collective belts, Yates and Hayashida are poised for great success. The recognition a Bronfman Award brings would be incredible for their careers as craftspeople.” She continued, “The Craft Council is confident in this nomination not only for the excellence of their ceramics, but also for the innovation of their techniques and the dedication they have shown as craftspeople and community leaders.” The extensive nomination package took two years to compile before it was ready for submission.
<br />
<br />Yates and Hayashida, meanwhile, are delighted to have been nominated. “Receiving the Bronfman Award is simply the highest honour in all of Canada for any fine craft artist. Just being nominated is an incredible feeling. Almost all of our favourite master craftspeople have, at some point, either won a Bronfman or been nominated for one. We’re excited to be in the running!”
<br />
<br />In its 34 years, the Bronfman Award has never been won by a craftsperson from Newfoundland and Labrador. This fact only adds to the excitement of the nomination, according to Yates. “While no one from our province has won this prestigious award, we’re confident that with so many outstanding craftspeople around us, it’s certainly not a question of ‘if’ it will happen, but ‘when’.”
<br />
<br />In addition to the prestige and prize money associated with winning a Bronfman, the Canadian Museum of Civilization acquires creative works by the recipient for its permanent collection. The Bronfman Award was created in 1977 and became part of the Governor General’s Awards in Visual and Media Arts in 2007. The awards presentation will take place in March 2012.
<br />
<br />The Craft Council of Newfoundland and Labrador is a member-based organization that works to maximize the artistic and economic potential of the craft community of the province. For further information, call (709) 753-2749.

It is some hard to push people back at a national event...to get a quick shot of work on the opening night! (4,500 sq ft of sensational work!) Thank you to Linda for picking me to go while she slaved away at the studio/shop in King's Point...but next time Linda goes to face the wild crowds! (Maybe one of the reasons it was so very crowded was because of CBC Radio's Mack Furlong of WAM...the Weekend Arts Magazine in NL did a story on this National show! They are so marvellous for getting the message out there to Canadians! <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/wam/episodes/2011/07/31/wam-july-30-31-david-hayashida/">http://www.cbc.ca/wam/episodes/2011/07/31/wam-july-30-31-david-hayashida/</a> )
