The AGGV exhibition, Blue & White, is a wonderful demonstration of cross-cultural exchange between China and the rest of the world, through a singular commodity – blue and white porcelain.
Kraak wares were made in the 17th century by mass production at the Chinese Jingdezhen kilns in Jiangxi province to meet the demands of the Portuguese market, and later the Dutch market.
Our art terminology article this quarter continues with the theme of the current exhibition, “Blue and White”, with terms like Qingbai, klapmutsen and Delftware.
Over the past year the AGGV Studio has pivoted, reimagined, and adapted its programming to respond to issues arising from the pandemic. Oona McClure (Studio Coordinator & Instructor) and April Caverhill (Studio Instructor) had a little chat about what they enjoy about being part of the AGGV Studio.

This year, we are able to build on the success of the 2020 TD Artist Guide, and are inviting other arts organizations to share their work and programs with the public, building a month-long series that does what we love to do the most: be creative and share our wealth with one another.
