About this Event

Designed for practicing artists, studio managers, researchers, and more, this symposium will feature an artist round table, exhibition tour, hands-on demonstrations, and presentations across two days at the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery in Waterloo.

Climate change and sustainability are serious issues for all of us. Artists and makers are increasingly attentive to the impacts of their artistic practice on the natural environment and our local communities. Artists want to be confident that their work isn’t contributing to dangerous climate change trends, while consumers and collectors are seeking more environmentally friendly alternatives.

Symposium attendees will learn about ways to make their ceramics and glass practice more sustainable, how environmental impacts of their studio can be measured, and contemporary approaches to exploring climate change and the natural environment in ceramic and glass arts.

Our opening keynote presentation will feature Robert Harrison (Helena, MT), practicing ceramic artist and author of Sustainable Ceramics. The two-day event will feature a closing keynote presentation by artists Hazel Frost and Natalie Wood of Studio Frostwood (Edinburgh, UK) discussing their ceramics studio sustainability journey. More details and additional speakers to come!

Symposium registration includes access to two days of activities on site at the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery, lunch both days, and a VIP reception with wine and cheese.
