In the Kiln Room: Becky Lauzon

"In the Kiln Room" is a weekly video series featuring artist talks, studio tours, and demonstrations by Canadian ceramic and glass artists. In this episode, Becky Lauzon shows us her engraving studio where she finishes clear glass pieces that she has blown in a hot shop. Finishing the pieces by adding soil and a variety of native plants, Becky discusses the ways in which city life and the natural environment are brought together in her practice. Becky Lauzon is a glass artist and engraver currently based out of Toronto, Ontario. Born and raised in Cochrane Ontario, Becky takes inspiration from the urban landscape and its juxtaposition with the natural world. After graduating from Sheridan College in 2014, she began a four-year residency at the Toronto Harbourfront Center. Through combining living elements with her hand blown free hand engraved transparent glass and the use of optics Becky creates an urban landscape throughout her work. Most recently, Becky has been exploring the use of avocado trees, with her glass creations, creating living installations that she has shown at the Gladstone Hotel’s Grow Op exhibition and the Toronto Artist Project’s Installation Zone. http://www.beckylauzon.ca/ --- The Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery is a long-standing site of excellence and a destination for contemporary art for international tourists and regional citizens. We are Canada's only gallery dedicated to contemporary Canadian works in ceramics, glass, and copper enameling. We host critically-acclaimed exhibitions that challenge ideas and perceptions of the definitions of art, craft and design today. With an emphasis on Canadian artists, our exhibitions also support international and regional artists. Our Gallery Shop is recognized on its own merits as a fine craft gallery, showing the best of Canadian ceramic and glass work. A relevant and dynamic cultural organization, the Gallery provides supportive education programs to people from across the Region. Using exhibitions as a starting point, individuals develop arts vocabulary, arts appreciation and cultivate confidence in their interpretation of contemporary artworks. People who return to the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery come to understand that the Gallery is a space with dynamic exhibitions, ever-changing hands-on programs and multiple opportunities for learning. http://www.theclayandglass.ca
