Okay, So I missed the Western New Years, but I made the Chinese New Year for my first post of 2011!
2011 is shaping up to be another amazing year. This month (February), I’ve headed back to the historic Medalta in Medicine Hat Alberta, for a 4 month Residency. I’m hoping that this will be a productive time, as I have to fill the demand for a major art event in London Ontario, the Barroco Nova Show and to replace the work I sold last year.
While I am in Med Hat, I will be making a short 2 week trip to Israel to run a work shop and lecture. I am super pumped to see this part of the world as well as get a bit of a reprieve from the Canadian Winter.
There is another adventure in May in the works. It involves York University, Me and possibly 2 weeks of art making… but more on that later. Don’t want to jinx it ;)
After my time at Medalta, I will be returning to the west coast for a short bit and then off to the European Ceramic Work Centre in Holland. I will be in Europe for 4 months, the first month will be spent traveling to the various art events in Europe (Basel, the Venice Biennial etc). The final 3 months will be spent creating new works at the International European Ceramic Work Centre.
I hope to keep you up to date on all my events via my website and twitter, but I would love to hear from you during the year!
Good luck getting all your projects completed Brendan. Saw the article in Ceramics Monthly yesterday. Congratulations! You’re really on a roll this year.
Hi!
I first encountered your work an hour ago on a course lecture from ArtNow, a 2009 one they replayed for us, and I love it. I really like the clear messages and playfulness of your work. I wish there was more of that, in the world; we need more stuff like the ormalu series. Anyway, just saying hello, and that I can’t wait to see what you do this year!

Thanks Shelle!
