PETERBOURGH, ON – From May 10 to June 1, 2008 Legacy Wild presents an exhibition of bold stoneware vessels inspired by studio potter Allan Pace's 30 year arctic odyssey.
"Since 1977, I believed my time exploring Canada's northern wilderness by canoe was a deeply personal and entirely private experience. After years of struggling to separate my creative studio work from my wilderness adventures, I finally relented and let my two worlds collide in full force. My pottery designs reflect the textures and rhythms of the mysterious northern landscape." ~ Allan Pace - Studio Potter
Studio Potter Allan Pace creates distinctively Canadian stoneware vessels at his log studio in scenic Hockley Valley near Orangeville, Ontario. Al and his wife, Lin Ward are avid wilderness paddlers and licensed river guides. Together they have explored 12,000 river miles on 58 arctic expeditions in Canada's Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
From May 10 - June 1, 2008 Legacy Wild presents an exhibition of bold stoneware vessels inspired by Al's 30 year arctic odyssey. Legacy Wild will ignite your wilderness spirit with stunning photographs, slide lectures, concerts and literary events which celebrate the wild places Al & Lin have felt so privileged to explore. With the recent recognition of the canoe as one of the Seven Wonders of Canada, Legacy Wild are especially pleased to have The Canadian Canoe Museum providing such a historic and compelling environment for their expedition .
