Steven Heinemann
Ellesmere - creamy white, textured, elongated, ceramic art object

2019

About the Item

Inspired by the rugged landscape of Canada’s north—Ellesmere (named for the island in Nunavut) is a gorgeous creamy white ceramic bowl. The exterior is smooth and appears almost polished, the interior features Heinemann’s signature use of finely detailed craquelure. Working from a converted barn near the village of Cookstown, Ontario the much-celebrated ceramicist’s work often explores the natural world and its ancient history. In doing so, Heinemann has re-defined the limits of ceramic art. He earned an MFA from Alfred University, NY, in 1983 and has taught in Canada and the US. Since his first solo exhibition in 1982 at the Ontario Crafts Council, he has exhibited continuously. Heinemann’s work is held in museums the world over. He has received many national and international awards including the Saidye Bronfman Award, Canada’s highest recognition of achievement in contemporary craft.

    By Jana Osterman
    Located in Bloomfield, ON
    The natural world inspires the beautiful organic forms of artist Jana Osterman. This deep blue patinated winterstone sculpture suggests the shape and movement of tree roots.

Jana Osterman Born in Slovenia, Osterman moved to Holland where she studied at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague. She continued with printmaking studies in England. For the last 20 years, Osterman has worked as a full-time artist and fabricator in Canada, first in Toronto and now in Prince Edward County...
