I found Willock & Sax on our first evening in Banff, but I didn’t manage to visit the gallery until after we’d checked out of the Bow View Inn on our last morning. The owner Susan Sax-Willock very kindly allowed me to take photos of pots all around the gallery and it is clear that specifically Western Canadian pots are featured. What a treat!
Join me as I spot groups of pots by some of the best ceramic artists in the West! Here is work by Terry Hildebrand of Winnipeg, Jeannie Mah of Regina, Sean Kunz of Alberta (originally Chilliwack) and Robin Dupont of Winlaw, BC, and many more.
Soda-firing potter Terry Hildebrand makes special stands for some of his bottles and cups.
I’m ashamed to say that in my enthusiasm for the pots I paid no attention to the paintings in this fine gallery. Now that I’m subscribed to Susan’s newsletter I see what I missed!
In my last photo Susan is preparing to wrap the pots I couldn’t resist taking home. I’ll show photos of those in my next blog.
When you’re next in Banff, don’t miss this gallery and its collection of mountain art and pots.
