BC-based ceramic artists are getting loud at the Museum of Anthropology’s freshest exhibit. Playing with Fire: Ceramics of the Extraordinary features 11 artists with strong opinions on urgent social issues (so yeah, it’s gonna get heated).

Artists include Judy Chartrand (work pictured above), Ying-Yueh Chuang, Gathie Falk, Jeremy Hatch, Ian Johnston, David Lambert, Glenn Lewis, Bill Rennie, Debra Sloan, and Brendan Tang.
