For Cliff Derksen, along with wife Wilma and daughter Odia, life has been anything but normal during the last 31 years. Much of their work in ceramics, writing, painting and visual installation has reflected their pain in dealing with the murder of their daughter and sister Candace in 1984. Remaining a mystery for more than two decades, an unexpected arrest was made in 2008. Mark Grant, a complete stranger to the Derksens, but a well known convicted felon, was tried and convicted.
For Cliff in particular, each period of this long painful journey – from tragedy and death to trial and conviction to now re-trial – also marks his development as an artist. Themes of anger and loss to suspicion and justice have allowed Cliff different ways to express himself and find an inner strength to find forgiveness. Now, years after the trial and with a trail of fascinating and wonderful works, Cliff has moved into not just creating but also teaching the joy of art.
Suspended and The Art of Forgiveness, follows Cliff Derksen and family as the now thirty-three year saga moves into what is hopefully the final chapter.
Filming took place from 2016 through to 2018.
Premiere and broadcast June 18, 2018.

CLAY CLASSES for ADULTS
at "Hidden Treasures"
Weekly on Wed. Nights beginning in April 2018
Next series will begin in Sept.
These classes are for your enjoyment and relaxation. Let the pressures of life drop away as you squeeze and form clay in your own hands, allowing your natural creative juices to flow again. Don't even worry about your experience of lack of it in working with clay. I am looking forward to meeting you and would love to guide you through the steps of creating each of your projects. You will explore various techniques such as slab construction, pinching and more. You will also learn about surface decorating including textures and under-glaze and glaze application.
Oh yes, make sure you bring an apron and/or clothes to change into that you don't mind getting some clay on.
PREREGISTRATION IS REQUIRED: Contact "Hidden Treasures" at 204-691-9975 or email: info@hiddentreasuresstudio.com
DATES AND TIME: Thursday nights 6:30 - 8:30pm
