plus some art classes I'll be teaching next year.
2018 Documentary: "Suspended and the Art of Forgiveness"
A documentary that follows artist Cliff Derksen as the now thirty-three year saga since the murder of his daughter Candace finally moves towards closure.
Quote from "Refuge 31":
"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."
This film is a one hour film, great for groups of all kinds such as, men's groups, art groups, therapists, church congregations, young adults, pastors, just to mention a few. It has to do with art, theology, men dealing with grief, anger, forgiveness and more. You will hear from Cliff's family, police chief Ewaski and Malcolm Gladwell to mention a few, reflecting on Cliff and his families journey of forgiveness.

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.

will explore various techniques such as slab construction, pinching and more. You will also learn about surface decorating including textures, under-glaze and glaze application. Each student will be making a number of pieces including trays, cups/mugs, and a pitcher.
Oh yes, make sure you bring an apron and/or clothes to change into that you don't mind getting some clay on.
