Amongst the shoulder to shoulder crowd, I caught a glimpse of some really incredible works begging me to return again later for a more in depth look. Here is a link to the website of current graduate work and some more information about the show. It's on for a very brief period of time, so be sure to check it out while you can!

This spring some of Canadaʼs top emerging craft and design students will be showcasing the results of their final year of work in Sheridanʼs Craft and Design program. This Could Work, hosted by the Ontario Crafts Council, highlights the results of many months of experimentation, practice and examination.
The students, active in four studios including Glass, Textiles, Ceramics and Furniture, will be presenting a broad body of work encompassing functional, sculptural, decorative, and conceptual pieces. These well considered objects often hide the many months of toil and uncertainty that have gone into their production. This Could Work represents many new makers, their hopeful spirit of experimentation, and, a fresh perspective.
Recognized as one of Canadaʼs finest Craft and Design programs, Sheridanʼs Craft and Design program produces graduates who have received national and international accolades for their work. The three-year intensive program provides Sheridan students with a strong foundation in craft-based skills and intimate knowledge of materials and technical processes that set them apart from other design students. This Could Work reflects a deep commitment to process, and offers a brief window into the studentʼs exciting future careers.
