Beth Turnbull Morrish

Turning Bull Pottery

I am a maker of artifacts. My functional tableware documents the cuisines and customs of my own culture. I create wares that are designed for specific foods, and often embellish the surface with text about ingredients, recipes and cultural traditions. I commemorate how foods and traditions from diverse backgrounds come together and complement one another.

Mealtime brings people together to celebrate our similarities and differences. I strive to honour these dining experiences with attention to detail and exquisite craftsmanship.

My influences include but are certainly not limited to: expressive typography, print design and advertising, etymology, almost everything to do with food, from raw ingredients and recipes to menus and cookbooks, as well as function and industrial design of utilitarian objects.

Photography

Born in Goderich, Darryl grew up in London, Ontario. He took up photography as a hobby in 1973.  During his university years, he ran a wedding photography business, and continued to pursue his love of documenting nature and wildlife.  Moving to digital photography in 2003 provided a new challenge and opportunity to express more creativity in production.  His favorite subjects are still wildlife and nature, but has dabbled with other subjects, such as documenting the Ailsa Craig Quilt Festival.
