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.

Handbuilding Workshop at RAWspace

1:00 PM13:00

Handbuilding Workshop at RAWspace

In this three-hour workshop, each participant will learn how to make fundamental forms with clay using the slab-built method. Each person will be given 3lbs of cone 6 mid-porcelain clay, and access to tools and underglazes to build and decorate their own unique Mug, Espresso Cup, Vase or Planter. Two or more pieces can be made, depending on the size. Surface techniques will be explored with underglaze and carving, to create beautiful AND functional pieces. There will be examples of finished pieces available to reference for your design choices. No experience required!

Sign up Here http://www.rawspace.info/february-4---beginners-pottery-slab-working--workshop.html

*To make the most of this workshop, please wear clothes you do not mind getting dirty and trim your fingernails! Long nails dig into the clay and mark up your work.

The pieces made during the class will be transported to Annika’s studio where they will be bisque fired, coated with clear glaze and fired to cone 6. The finished work will be returned to RAWspace, where they can be picked up 2 weeks after the class.

*Annika will do her best to ensure all of the pieces survive with fantastic results, but clay can be quite unpredictable and results may vary from example pieces.
