On June 12, 2022, we held our first in-person talk for the NWCF Speakers Series since the pandemic. Russell Hackney, an artist, designer and mould-maker who lives on Bowen Island, presented a fascinating account of his history as a third-generation ceramic maker from Stoke-on-Trent, Britain. We have not yet figured out how to record live presentations to make them available later to those who missed the talk, but, fortunately, Board Member Gillian McMillan has posted an excellent account on her blog Rara Avis. For a personal, in-depth account, please see her blog post here.
