About
Create your own clay forest floor with artist Sarah Ritchie!
Draw inspiration from the Alberta Craft Council’s exhibition Craft and Science, explore the interesting ways that science and craft intersect. Join exhibition artist Sarah Ritchie in exploring the dynamic possibilities of commercial paper clay in this entomological themed workshop.
What can you see on a forest floor? Using clay stamps and air dry clay, create your own little forest patch with plants and bugs!
Sarah Ritchie is a self-taught ceramic artist based out of Calgary, Alberta. She began working with ceramics in 2017 after completing her Bachelor of Science in Archaeology at the University of Calgary and working as a wildlife educator. Sarah strives to incorporate science communication and endorse positive shifts in public perspectives towards insects through her artwork.

The Alberta Craft Gallery is the Calgary location of the Alberta Craft Council, a Provincial Arts Service Organization that develops, promotes, and advocates for fine craft in Alberta. As an anchor tenant in cSPACE, a vibrant cultural hub in Marda Loop, we offer exhibitions free to the public along with a retail gallery where you can experience fabulous shopping and discover exceptional fine craft in clay, wood, metal, jewellery, fibre, stone and glass hand-made by Alberta artists. We support contemporary and heritage crafts as significant art forms that contribute to Alberta’s culture, and are invested in developing a craft sector of creative, skilled, viable, and sustainable craftspeople, studios, businesses, and networks.
