Elena Richardson - Amphora CeramicsIt seems only fair to go alphabetically so our first featured artist this month is Elena Richardson of Amphora Ceramics. Elena is not only a talented potter, but a musician as well. Her Piers Island connection is granddaughter to one of the original owners on Piers. The family still enjoys the island often, and as such, we are able to feature Elena’s work in PIG. Our photo displays currently available work – mugs, vases, hanging planters all range in price from $30 to $50. Please contact us for more information on any of the pieces.  Grant Warrington - Kelp WeaverGrant harvests dried kelp from various beaches on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. The kelp is rehydrated to the point of flexibility and then dried again, then more woven in, at various stages. He uses primarily bull kelp and brown laminaria. Our photo displays currently available work – the smaller heart at $75, ranging up to $525 for the large bull kelp & laminaria basket which is 8 inches tall with a 13 inch diameter. Please contact us for more information on any of the pieces.  We are most grateful to be shared to all your friends, or send along hints that you'd like passed to your Santa...we can do that! Wishing you the very best this holiday season. #yyjart #artforchristmas #originalart #westcoastart #christmasshopping  While we seem to keep a steady update happening on our Instagram and Facebook feeds, but we fall behind on our Exhibition posts and we have so many lovely things to show you.

The summer has flown by and here we are getting ready to open a new group show. We'll be introducing Grace Thornton's work- our newest and youngest artist to PIG. We started 7 years ago with 9 artists and we have grown to 27 artists, authors and visual artists...we may be more than 27! I've lost track. :) Our show will open on Friday September 1st at 7 pm and run the month of September. We hope you'll have a chance to pop in and if you are off Piers, we are always happy to do do Zoom or Facetime tours.  #originalart #yyjart
As we come to the close of another year, we'd like to wish everyone all the best of the season and we look forward to exploring new works by our ever growing stable of artists and authors. We began with 9 artists over 6 years ago and we are now 26 artists and authors.
We will go into PIGSTY mode until February when we launch For the Love of Art just in time for Valentine's Day. Happy New Year!!  We look forward to bringing you a new show with gift giving in mind. When our show opens we will have 24 artists and 3 authors. You can also check out our Performing Artists on the web - we have 5!
