BEYOND THE BEAD: Exhibition opened October 1st at the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery in Waterloo.

"The Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery’s first exhibition solely featuring beadwork, Beyond the Bead, features pieces by Barry Ace and Sharl G. Smith. (...) Diverse in their approaches to this medium and the stories that they tell, they are united by their efforts to honour a culture passed down through generations and to push beadwork to new realms."

Four new exhibitions have launched at the CCGG, celebrating their 30th Anniversary and the diversity of ceramics and glass.
