Rave reviews Retailers love the quality of the work and the catalogue, and Alberta Craft Wholesale Collections sales are rising fast.
he first edition of the Alberta Craft Wholesale Collections catalogue is out, and is drawing rave reviews. Retailers regularly commentthat the quality of the publication - and of the work represented - encourage them to buy. At the Fall Alberta Gift Show - with our catalogues and some samples - we doubled our sales from last year and signed up some very good retail clients as members of the program. There has been some very encouraging international interest and we recently had a 'meet and greet' in the showroom with Alberta Economic Development and Tourism. This was very successflland we plan to invite many target market groups to the showroom for similar 'meet and
greet' functions. The bottom line is that, to date - after only six months in the marketplace- we have secured 32 member retailerswho represent sales of just over $62,000.It is interestingto know that the majorityof these saleswas made without the completedcatalogueand without our
sales representative (Jan Edmonds). Now that both are in place, we are forecasting200 to 300 member retailers and sales up to $800,000 per year.

Glass by Jeff Holmwood at the annual Canadian Glass Show at Rowles& Company,in Edmonton this fall.
An education in exhibiting esthetics and technique are standard educational

half of the professional craftsperson's life, says glass instructor Susan Edgerley.
veteran instructor at That's why the 12—year
Montréal's Éspace Verre decided to make Edmonton's Canadian GlassShowa class project for her third-year students this fall. Shipping, pricing, and a professionalrelationship with curators were the main thrusts of the 'miniproject', part of a course called Activité Syntheses given at the glass resource facility. Canadian GlassShou curator Carol Jane Campbell (the show is put on every fall
by Rowlesand Company Gallery) is thrilled not only to have the students' work but to be part of a program which educates students on professional necessities before they graduate. "It gives them great first-hand experience,"says Campbell, adding that lack of professionalismin artists - support materials, adherence to deadlines and organization - makes it impossible for curators to show and promote craftspeople in the best possible light. Four or five Espace Verre students are represented among the record 68 glass artists from across the county in this year's exhibition, which continues to December 23. The trend this year, says Campbell is vibrant colour - bright orange, cobalt blue, red, eyepopping green. Campbell promises lots of surprises to
gallerygoers, including many new artists and some
remarkably different work from artists who've exhibited at the annual show before. Educators interested in this type of project are welcome to call Susan Edgerley at Éspace Verre, (514)933-6849.

Jacküe Anderson
ALBERTA CRAFT MAGAZINE NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 1997
our-and-a-half years ago when I interviewed Jackie Anderson during her jewellery retrospective at Illingworth Kerr Gallery, she was busy rearing two-year-old son - and promised never to make 'baby art'.
Nevertheless, being at home with her son has had an impact. In her most recent brooches and pendants, the 44-year-old metalsmith has begun investigating rooms and interiors. "Where your mind goes, so goes your art," she quips. "These days I spend a lot of time at home, and I ended up thinking about what's in a room." Books and song titles, or everyday objects and phrases provide inspiration for Anderson, who notes: "I love cliches - but with a twist." Included in the recent series,which was unveiled during artwalk at Calgary's Provenance Gallery, are pocket-sized pins like Trout Fishing in AmericaFly Me to the Moon, and Knight Light - a brooch featuring the moon shining through a window,above a table and a glistening opal knight's helmet. There is however,another more distressing impetus to Anderson's recent embarkation on a new series - the recurring childhood athsma which has forced her to abandon acrylic resin and other materials which create a lot of dust in grinding and manipulation.The hazard put a damper on proejcts such as the pins depicting building

exteriors - everything from clapboard houses to ancient temples - which she fashioned from a variety of unorthodox items like quartz, stone, wood and discarded piano keys. Anderson's postmodern methods of mixing and matching crude and sophisticated materials lies at the heart of her art-making and her style. "Jewellery has always been a valuable commodity," continued on page 10
"Where your mind goes, so goes your art". Jackie Anderson loves to take an architectural cliché, throw a twist at it, and create an elegant jewellery motif. by Mark Walton

she says. "For centuries your wealth was what you wore which is why I will use a precious stone to accent a piece
of linoleum tile, rather than the other way around.It focussesattention on the objects,insteadof on their net
worth."
Meanwhile, Anderson is contemplating a series on sight and vision, involvingparts of eyeglasses. And although her son is too old for 'baby art', she's been checking our his free-form drawings for potential designs.Youjust can't keep a good metalsmith down.
Consequently, Anderson says she's floundering a bit as she hunts for safer ways of producing the intricate,
multi-faceted fine art jewellery she's becomeknown for. "Part of what I'm going through would have happened despite the asthma,"she admits. "I've been leaning toward combining everythingin a single work the punning, architecture, the sign thing." The 'sign thing' the Calgary-born artist refersto is the series ofjewellery which refers to vintage commercial signs - she documents and transforms the signs into elegantjewellery motifs. She has a particularyen for '50s and '60s 'space age' designs, which offer a sort of George
Jetson/Art Deco aestheticreminiscent of spike-covered, blob-shaped sputniks and rocket-ship fins on old automobiles. "When you look back through all of the design movements, there's always something political, economic or sociologicalreflectedin them. It's not as facile as it seems," she says.
