ANIMAL, VEGETABLE, MINERAL 🐚🌿🪨

We’re thrilled to announce the exhibition marking the culmination of our 2025 FUSION Mentorship with Toronto ceramic artist Julie Moon @juliemoonceramics

Over eight months, twelve emerging and mid-career artists worked closely with Julie on form and surface decoration — refining their creative voices, strengthening technical skills, and exploring new directions in clay. The result is a body of work that reflects a year of growth, experimentation, and dialogue, spanning both functional and sculptural pieces.
We’re honoured to be hosted by Vessels + Sticks @vesselsandsticks , a curated gallery presenting contemporary ceramics that push structure, material, and form beyond traditional expectations. We couldn’t ask for a better place to share this work.

Exhibiting artists:
Alex Chouinard-McLellan, Anne Kobayashi, Chloe Begg, Hana Balaban-Pommier, Jamie Bennett, Jasmine Cardenas, Keana Gauvin, Maddie Gabriel, MP Guillot, Talia Silva, Thomas Paik, V Vallieres

🗓️ October 3–24, 2026
🎉 Opening reception: Saturday, October 3, 2–5 PM
📍 Vessels + Sticks, 112 Avenue Rd. (Main Floor), Toronto

Come celebrate with us — all are welcome!

SUMMER WITH THE BOARD ☀️ (the finale!)

We’ve loved bringing you inside the summers of the artists who keep FUSION running; from studios to campsites to galleries and everywhere in between. As we roll into the long weekend and summer winds down, we’re wrapping up the series with board member Talia Silva @taliainko , fresh off her residency at the Red Lodge Clay Center @redlodgeclaycenter2 in Montana. Swipe through for a peek at her time there 🧡

Thanks for following along with us all summer — it’s been a joy to share these glimpses of our community. But don’t go anywhere: fall means workshops, exhibitions, mentorships, and plenty more ways to get involved with FUSION. Find our programming line-up, calls for entry and more at the link in our bio.

However you’re spending it, we hope you have a wonderful Labour Day long weekend! 🎉
