Registration for “STOKED!” would be a memorable gift for yourself or an interested loved one!
When the 2020 Symposium was put on hold due to Covid, the organizing committee began re-imagining the 2023 event. We think you will like the changes and the all-Canadian line-up at STOKED!
FORM: The Mobile Contemporary Gallery
Today we highlight additional details that make the Symposium such an immersive clay event.
· The Mug Wall: Donate a handmade mug or two to the Mug Wall at the Symposium. Drop off your cup or mug to the designated room when you arrive. These unique, BC-made mugs are available for only $20 each (cash or cheque). This fundraiser is sponsored by the North-West Ceramics Foundation in support of the Maureen Wright Scholarship Fund assisting BC Potters.
· The Ceramic Roadshow is a Symposium tradition. Bring along a ceramic piece to share. Your own, your favourite, oldest, newest, funkiest - whatever! We create an amazing show that features these gems. Visit during lunch to watch a critique of a selection of pieces.
· K-12 Ceramic Exhibition. The K-12 Exhibition showcases the diversity and excellence of BC student work in clay with a digital show as well as some actual student work displayed in the Atrium area.
· Exhibitions at STOKED! You won’t want to miss a thing at Shadbolt! Look for a Presenters’ Exhibition, a BC Potters’ Guild Sur la Table Plate Exhibition (entry form on website) and an Honoree Exhibit.
· Trade Show. Visit vendors' booths in the atrium to check out and purchase the latest ceramics tools, publications, and supplies. Learn about studio / educational programs and artist in residencies! Rent a table at the symposium trade show by contacting tradeshow.canadianclay@gmail.com
· Live Podcast. Watch a live Podcast being created for “The Kiln Sitters”, moderated by Vancouver’s own Brendan Lee Satish Tang.
· FORM: The Mobile Contemporary Gallery will be on-site for its second Symposium. Created by Robin DuPont, Slocan Valley, and echoing The Artstream Nomadic Gallery from Colorado, the converted AirStream trailer gallery space will be parked out front at STOKED! Robin will have the gallery stocked with ceramic works by a selection of contemporary artists. Visit to see some fresh new work and make a purchase if you like!
