Today’s Flashback Friday is brought to you by the fine folks at the Winnipeg Public Library. Spring is in full swing and a chorus of bird songs fill the air. Looking to get out of your studio and explore the outside world for inspiration? Why not check out the Manitoba Naturalists Society‘s Finding Birds In Southern Manitoba?
For those of you wondering if the Manitoba Craft Council has flown the coop on its craft mandate, fear not. Many of you will recognize the hand of ceramic artist Jordan Van Sewell on the book cover pictured above. “Birder Fanatic” from 1999 is vintage Van Sewell – comic, quirky, sincere. For over 30 years Jordan has been a mainstay on the ceramic art scene in Winnipeg.
Check out Jordan’s page on the In Plain View website to watch a great video short on the man and his work.
