It's the last day to catch the show in person. Stop by the gallery .hive.arc 12-5 today to check out the show.

This beautiful porcelain cup by unfortunately missed the opening, but is worth making a trip to see! Aura uses china paint to render her understated illustrations, and the remainder of the cup features an etched pattern. This is definitely one you'll want to touch!

Linda McDonald
'Rippling Silence'

Linda discovered her passion with pottery with a community workshop and is beyond grateful for the freedom and creativity it allows her. As a full time teacher during the week, she cherishes her weekends in her pottery studio where she can be unshackled by rules to allow herself to be playful both with wheel thrown work and slab building. For this Vancouver Island artist, her inclusion of the beautiful Pacific Northwest provides her with much to study and she’s equally grateful to nature being her greatest teacher.
