Not a day goes by that Keith and Celia Rice-Jones don’t talk about clay.
Keith, a former art teacher at Port Moody secondary, and his wife typically discuss their collection of mugs, bowls and pots — as well as their ways of approaching the craft, at their home-based Wildrice Studio — over coffee breaks and meals.
Thursday night (June 6), the pair return to the Port Moody Arts Centre to open their new show, Clay Compulsion.
And, next Thursday (June 13), the couple will talk about their love of clay at the St. Johns Street facility; their lecture at 7 p.m. is titled The Art of Home and is based on this quote from William Morris: “Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.”
