SUMMARY:Artist Reception: Ichigo Ichie: A Moment in Time - Presented by Alberta Craft Council
DESCRIPTION:Artist Reception: Ichigo Ichie: A Moment in Time – Presented by Alberta Craft Council\ncSPACE MardaLoop\nAlberta Craft Council – Level 2\nMay 23\, 2026\n2:00PM – 4:00 PM \nRSVP for free \n\n\nJoin Alberta Craft Council for an Artist Reception from Minoru Ueda. Meet the artist and view his exhibition. \nArtist Statement \nIchigo Ichie is a Zen-inspired concept that emphasizes cherishing the unique nature of each moment. This principle is often associated with the renowned Japanese tea master Sen no Rikyu. It also profoundly influences my artistic practice. As a potter\, I draw upon traditional Japanese pottery techniques\, focusing on the rustic elegance and understated aesthetics of functional vessels\, as well as the inherent connection to nature first articulated by Sen no Rikyu. This exhibition features a selection of vases\, tea utensils\, and tableware that are central to the Japanese tea ceremony. \nBiography \nMinoru Ueda is a Japanese architect who was raised in Tokyo and currently divides his time between Calgary and Japan. He began his career in seismic engineering research\, then transitioned to structural engineering and ultimately focused on sustainable architecture. In Japan\, Minoru practices\, teaches\, and consults on sustainable architecture\, while in Canada\, he engages in artistic pursuits and volunteers within local art communities. His longstanding passion for the visual arts has flourished in Calgary\, where he has found the time and space to develop his artistic skills. \nMinoru studied the Japanese tea ceremony for several years. After relocating to Canada\, he has pursued courses in sculpture and ceramics at ACAD and in printmaking at KOAC. He is a proud member of the Leighton Art Centre\, Fairview Pottery Studios\, and Alberta Craft Council. In 2024\, he was awarded an artist residency at Workshop Studios\, where he continues to hold the position of honorary member. \nIn Japan\, Minoru works from various pottery studios\, including Yuzan Gama\, Hibiki Studio\, Ebisu Cultural Center\, and Naka Klin. He is also a member of the Kobuchizawa Pottery Club. \nThis is a free event. \n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Gallery Reception: Rebus Plates for our Times/Assiettes Rebus pour temps qui Courent
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Reception: Rebus Plates for our Times/Assiettes Rebus pour temps qui Courent\ncSPACE Marda Loop\nAlberta Craft Gallery – Level 2\nApril 11\, 2026\n1:00 PM – 4:00 PM\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Alberta Craft Council and Alliance Française at cSPACE for an afternoon of art\, ideas\, and community with Rebus Plates for Our Times / Assiettes Rébus pour Les Temps Qui Courent. \nBegin your visit on Level 4 in the RGO Treehouse with a thought-provoking craft talk\, Pictorial Puns: Rebus Plates for Our Times\, presented by craft historian Dr. Jennifer Salahub. This engaging talk explores the rich history of rebus imagery—visual riddles that combine pictures and letters to convey layered meanings—and their evolution from 19th-century French ceramic traditions into contemporary artistic practice. \nFollowing the talk\, head down to the Alberta Craft Gallery on Level 2 for the artist reception\, where you can experience the exhibition firsthand and connect with the work in a welcoming\, social setting. \nRooted in a historical tradition popularized by makers such as the Faïencerie de Gien in France\, rebus plates once conveyed everything from moral lessons to political commentary. This contemporary exhibition revisits and reimagines that form\, offering fresh perspectives on the complexities of our current moment. \nFeaturing work by Montréal-born\, Calgary-based artist and Professor Emerita Mireille Perron—founder of the Laboratory of Feminist Pataphysics—this exhibition reflects a playful yet critical approach to art\, craft\, and social discourse. \nWe’re proud to host this free\, public event at cSPACE. Everyone is welcome to attend and experience the creativity and conversation unfolding within our community. \nThis exhibition is generously supported by Alliance Française. \n\nRSVP Online \n\nSCHEDULE: \n\n\n Craft Talk – 1:00 PM- 2:00 PM: Pictorial Puns: Rebus Plates for Our Times Talk with Dr. Jennifer Salahub\, Craft Historian\, RGO Treehouse 4th floor\, cSPACE\nArtist Reception – 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM: Alberta Craft Calgary\, 2nd floor\, cSPACE\n\nFree | Everyone Welcome

SUMMARY:Leaving an Impression: Cyanotype Workshop with Mireille Perron
DESCRIPTION:Leaving an Impression: Cyanotype Workshop with Mireille Perron\ncSPACE Marda Loop\nAlberta Craft Gallery – Level 2\nAugust 23\, 2025\n1:30 PM – 4:30 PM \nMake your own cyanotype print using an old photographic technique\, and learn how to use the local flora & fauna in your art! \nThis hands-on 2 1/2 hour workshop is an introduction to one of the first photographic processes ever developed. The cyanotype process\, also known as blueprint or sunprint utilizes photosensitive iron salts and continues to be relevant today to produce fine art prints. This process can be done with paper and fabric. This workshop will focus on cyanotype paper. You will design\, expose in the sun\, and develop in water your own cyanotypes. An UV lamp will be available if the sun is not showing up that day. \nThis is a contact printing method. Where the light reaches paper (or fabric)\, it turns blue. Where light is blocked\, it remains white\, or the colour of the paper. Participants are encouraged to bring objects/materials for their compositions. Select your objects thinking of the shadows they will leave. For example\, transparent reflective glass objects i.e. such as small drinking glasses with nice cut glass bottom\, and other random transparent objects. Intricate flowers and leaves like any small objects with an intricate contour such as lace\, strings\, gears\, buttons etc. Experimentation can produce some really interesting results. \nAll materials provided. \nBe ready to go outside in the sun (hat\, sunglasses\, sunscreen…) \nPurchase Tickets: www.eventbrite.ca/e/leaving-an-impression-cyanotype-workshop-with-mireille-perron-tickets-1466835798359?aff=ebdssbdestsearch \nAbout the Artist: Mireille Perron was born in 1957 in Montréal\, Québec. Since 1989 she has been living and working in Moh-kins-tsis/Calgary\, Alberta. Perron is the founder of the Laboratory of Feminist Pataphysics (2000 —)\, a social experiment that masquerades as collaborative works of art/craft and events. Her art work has been presented in solo and group exhibitions in Canada\, and more occasionally in Europe and the United States. She taught at the Alberta University of the Arts until 2018 when she received the title of Professor Emerita.
