The framework of Rural Roots is an expression of both the creative connectivity and individual autonomy of a group of five women makers. Connie Pike, Katrina Chaytor, Jessica Danbrook, Katriona Drijber, and Brenda Danbrook are emerging, and established artists formally introduced through programs at the University of Alberta, Red Deer College and the Alberta University of the Arts, in Alberta. The artists in this exhibition engage in traditional craft practices, share a powerful connection to clay, and acknowledge and celebrate the collegiality and mentorship between them.

Participating Artists: Brenda Danbrook, Katrina Chaytor, Connie Pike, Katriona Drijber, Jessica Danbrook.
