I’ve always wanted to stop and see what has been described as Alberta’s ‘Great Wall of China’ at the Medalta Factory. This will be a wee side-trip that I may take one day, just three hours east of Calgary. This might turn out to be my first break to stretch my legs. Only my closest friends know that I have a hotel creamer collection, some of them originating from this very location. I really enjoy these wee bits of memorabilia. Rarely can I find these anymore, so there must be many collectors! Porcelain is one of those materials that I am drawn to. And, as perhaps you can tell, I am also very caught up in stories and history, so these little objects of function AND beauty really appeal to me.
Hmmm…I also notice that there is artist-residency-potential at this location!
I’ve had some fun playing around with my camera this afternoon, so I got utterly distracted by things while planning on this blog entry! I really do need to get the manual out for this camera and read about the possibilities. I used to take zillions of photographs, but have steered away from that in this ‘incubation’ phase of my creative spirit. As I find ‘things to do’ along the Trans Canada Highway, I’ll post them here.
