Out of Hand

There are many ways to interpret the phrase “out of hand”. It can

suggest a state of being outside the limit of control of processes

and materials; it can reference the manner in which ideas are

rendered into tangible objects; and finally, it hints at the

pursuit of an ideal, which ultimately remains unattainable.

We will never have in our hands the perfect piece because this

would imply a complete satisfaction with the result of our efforts.

We grow and develop through our making, and so too do our goals,

putting them forever just ahead of our grasp. This is a life of making:

constantly learning and evolving in an attempt to get ever closer to

perfection. This is our satisfaction; to thrive in the liminal space

between our outstretched hands and the unattainable object.

Foreword

� foreword

Out of hand, and over the top.

After looking at their work, it is possible to wonder whether any of this year’s graduates of the Sheridan Crafts and Design Program share any common vision of life, art, or the nature of human existence. Collectively, they have produced a riotous assembly of contradictory forms, colours, materials and approaches that manages to seduce, challenge, subvert and tri-umph over virtually any assumption you might secretly hold about beauty, materiality or what it means to work in craft.

The work is often masterful, yet sometimes rather slapstick. It is bold, or alternately subtle. It may be organic, or mechanical. It is both sensual and intellectual at the same time; and bright and dark. It is sometimes whole-heartedly pure, but elsewhere ambigu-ously layered, fractured, and assembled. It is smooth, shining, pleasurable. It is rough, decayed and sad.

Heidi Overhill is a full-time Professor in the Sheridan School of Animation, Arts and Design. A past president of ACIDO (The Association of Chartered Industrial Designers of Ontario) she recently completed an MFA at the University of Waterloo for a project applying museum collection protocols to the problems of domestic living.

Out of hand, and into the mind.

Author Jay Baldwin once said that a tool is something you use to add so much energy to an idea that other people can see it too. The objects in this catalogue are material manifes-tations of ideas. What they offer are thoughts made visible; concepts put into concrete, embodied form.

Some of the ideas are small and delicate. They are whispered musings on subtleties of form or function, or a self-referential probing into preconceptions about material and technique. But there are also big bumptious ideas that break loose to challenge larger issues; to glory in the sheer wanton variety of our fin de siècle Post Modern culture-at-large. These are ideas that speak of (and to) the head, the heart, the gut, and the hands. They reclaim the past; they predict the future. To look at them is to be astonished, transported, bemused.

Out of hand, and before the world.

The work in this catalogue has taken three years to complete. It has emerged out a whirlwind of educational commitment and concentration that was just the start of the process of lifelong learning required to perfect the skills and knowledge of crafts-manship. It is also the result of slowness. Education is a time of quiet and reflection; a private space away from the pressures of world, where it is possible to follow a fragile train of thought to some unexpected personal destination.

That private process is done. The work, and the graduates who made it, now stand revealed. The work is parted from its makers, and now speaks only for itself. It stands still, fixed here in this catalogue as a memento of the act of its creation. Its makers, the former students, are now our peers. They step forward, past this work, into the future.

Program

The Crafts and Design Program at Sheridan has been setting the standard for crafts education in Canada since being founded in 19�7. A close connection with the arts community, award-winning faculty, fully-equipped studios and a renowned curriculum all work to help students develop a critical sense of design and outstanding technical skills while at Sheridan.

The three-year Crafts and Design Program offers intensive, hands-on training in four studio areas: ceramics, furniture, glass and textiles. These are complemented with additional studios of design, drawing and photography.

The studio experience at Sheridan is supported by academic studies in craft history, commu-nications, supervised independent research, visits from established artists and exhibition opportunities for students.

In the third year of the program students address the important goal of self-employment as a craftsperson. Through lectures and coursework Sheridan students examine mar-ket dynamics in the crafts and design arena along with undertaking case studies of run-ning a professional craft or consulting design practice. At graduation, Sheridan students are among the most talented and best prepared emerging artists and designers in Canada.

AcknowledgementsThe graduating class of 2010 would like to thank several people for their assistance in making this exhibition and catalogue a reality: We are profoundly grateful to Isabel Stukator for all that she has done. Her guidance, hard work and patience can be found on every page of this catalogue; to Heidi Overhill for generously accepting the task of writing the foreword to the catalogue; to Arounna Khounnoraj for all of her help with the exhibition. To administrators Nancy Heath, Mary Cator, and Heather Whitton our associate dean; we thank you for all of your behind-the-scenes assistance and dedication. We thank Jennifer Deighton for her assistance with fundraising and sponsorships. Jamie Owen and Owen Colbourne; thank you not only for your expertise and assistance in the gallery and photo studio, but for being delightful and fascinating hallway conversationalists. To Mike Young; for working with Isabel on the design and layout of this catalogue. Also, we thank our peers and colleagues for all of their hard work on the various catalogue and exhibition committees. And lastly, we offer a special thanks to the

support staff of the Crafts and Design program at Sheridan whose daily efforts help to make the school a pleasant and uplifting place to work and study.

Furniture

Looking back on the point of arrival three years ago, a diverse group of personalities has emerged. We have only now begun to understand our place and identities within craft. It is with great appreciation to those who have guided us towards a successful end, both in and outside of the studio, that we take these next steps out into the world. Thank you for all your moral support, advice and motivation along the way.

We would like to personally thank the studio faculty: Rob Diemert, Peter Fleming, Connie Chisholm, Ian Stewart, Scott Eckert, and Kirsten White, as well as those who have sup-ported and inspired us outside of the studio: Stephen Hugo-Seinader, Arounna Khounnoraj, Isabel Stukator, Claire Scott-Taggert and Kathy Kranias.

Finally, we would also like extend a special thanks to our family and friends for their love and support during out time here at Sheridan.

Ceramics

The Class of �010 would like to extend a message of gratitude to all our mentors.

To Bruce Cochrane for his quietude in dealing with our frustrations in our formative years and his equally quiet excitement in our successes. Your understanding of how mud can become a beautiful thing will always be an inspiration.

To Hugh Douglas-Murray, who with patience and patience and patience, put up with our messes and misunderstandings of how things actually work in a studio. You provided us with support that we did not even know we needed.

To Winn Burke, Tony Clennell, Cathleen Nich-olson, Dale Pereira, Gord Thompson and the many visiting artists, who found time to share their knowledge and their passion for clay and the ways in which it works (and doesn’t). There is no measurable extent to our gratitude.

We have all been gifted with an artistic bent, but it could never have come this far, this fruitful or this fulfilling without your dedica-tion to us – the Class of �010.

Textiles

The ladies of the �010 graduating class of the Textiles studio would like to thank firstly and foremostly Rachel MacHenry for being not only a constant source of inspiration; but support, guidance, and love.

Thanks to all the textile teachers who have helped us on our way: Thea Haines, Isabel Stukator, Preethi Gopinath, Lissa Brunet, Janelle Guthrie, Dorie Millerson, Anna Zygowski and Arounna Khounnoraj. A special thank-you to those that have helped us from behind the scenes, like Jamie Owen, Heather Whitton, and Nancy Heath.

This year has been full of amazing opportunities, and we would also like to mention G&S Dye, Rowenta Irons, Bernina, The Knit Café, Telio Cie and Vanja Vasic of Toronto Alternative Fashion Week for their support in our academic excellence.

Glass

As the Glass department approaches graduation, we can not help but look back on the previous three years and smile. Who knew that seventeen of us would make this journey together, and explore the glass medium in every possible direction imagined, spending unbelievable amount of days and nights together, and grow into the artists we worked so hard to become.

The Sheridan experience would not have been the same without our studio technician Jason Cornish. His advice, encouragements and sense humour are much appreciated. Our teachers, Koen Vanderstukken, Brad Sherwood, Blaise Campbell, Andy Kuntz, Maciej Dyskiewicz, Orion Arger, Lucy Roussel, and Sally McCubbin’s expertise, patience, and support helped us into our own. Teaching us to push the limits, ask questions, and to “just do it”.

And lastly, a special thank you for an unforgettable first year with our teacher assistants Clayton Haigh and Rachael Shepherd; don’t stop believing!
