FAVOURS

Canadian Small Favours showcases intimate ceramic works from across Canada, celebrating diversity, skill, and voice - each piece a powerful testament to clay’s enduring presence, intimacy, and cultural resonance.

Small works. Expansive ideas.

Favours presents fifty Canadian ceramic artists, each contributing a work no larger than 13 x 13 cm. Responding to the 2026 NCECA theme Volumes, the exhibition approaches volume as presence -artists making space for ideas, histories, and touch within ceramic practices. Clay records pressure. It holds memory, carrying the trace of the hand. Within these intimate works, artists gather complex ideas into focused forms -playful, political, restrained, and materially attentive. At a moment when ceramics programs across Canada are shrinking or disappearing, Favours stands as both celebration and reminder: this field endures through the communities that sustain it.

“After the store was left empty for over 20 years, we opened the space in 2015 as a modern general store that specialized in quality handmade objects. We started with our house made pottery and a small collection of locally produced gifts, and expanded to carry work by over 60 Canadian artists, from coast to coast.”
