Show & Tell 6: The Clay & The Cloth by Abovegroup Ogilvy

Thursday, 3rd December 2009 from 7:30pm

Need a break from constant conference content? Grab some fresh ideas at Abovegroup for our latest instalment of Show & Tell.

Adam Williams / Pottery
Trinidad-born Williams flitted between Trinidad and Barbados in his early years before attending the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD) in Toronto, Canada, where he majored in Drawing and Painting. In 2003 he took an introductory ceramics class and spent the remaining time at the college continuing with figurative drawing and painting along with ceramic studies.

Since 2004 he has shown his pieces at local galleries and small exhibits. In 2007 he was the first artist to show work at Alice Yard. Williams currently works and teaches from his Diego Martin studio; we are really excited about him sharing his ideas and approach with us.

Robert Young (The Cloth) / Fashion
The Cloth started as a collaborative some 22 years ago. For the last 15 years Robert Young has single handedly maintained the label, which has come to represent a unique, dynamic and always original Caribbean aesthetic.  Robert is perhaps best described as conscientious yet daring. Each collection represents a variation on a theme yet remains aware of global trends without losing sight of the context of Robert’s environment. His work embodies elements of traditional folk, the spirit of revolution and an interest in restoration and integration.  We’re looking forward to hearing more about his story and his thoughts on design at Show & Tell.

Spread the word, admission is free.
Drinks are on us (while stocks last, then donations please…cough it up, you know who you are!) Music and afterparty hosted by none other than DJ Irukandji. Vintage caffeine & taurine blend from Red Bull.

Hope you can make it!
