WEYBURN - A summer exhibition of unique pottery pieces is in the works, with an ongoing competition challenging the members to stretch their creativity.
The Great Weyburn Pottery Throwdown has been running since September and will conclude at the end of June.
Weyburn Pottery Club members are submitting themed works every couple months to be judged by Casey Kievits, Marilyn Nelson and Chris Borshowa.
Themes have included Hometown Tribute, Self Representational Sculpture and Ying/Yang.
Upcoming challenges include a teapot and two cups, a creative lidded vessel and an animal sculpture.
Regan Lanning participated in one of the challenges, and enjoyed the process.
“I love the challenges! They push participants to try new techniques, shapes and concepts. The creativity the competition has engendered amongst club members has been delightful to witness,” she said of the contest. An exhibition will run at the Weyburn Art Gallery from July 4 to September 26, with an opening reception to be held on Friday, July 4 at 7 p.m.
