Cape Breton Centre for Craft & Design - Explorations 2021

“From the first time I visited Cape Breton several years ago, I was instantly inspired by the rugged natural beauty of this special part of Canada,” said Norrie. “I have been back to visit Cape Breton a few times since my first visit and continually discover new beaches, cliffs, trails, forests, and incredible vistas to keep my creative eye inspired."

Woodstock Art Gallery - New Works: Shane Norrie 2012

I remember when I was a teenager, and just discovering the world of clay, I happened upon an exhibition catalogue that spoke to my creative senses. It was a catalogue of a 1996 exhibition at the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery in Waterloo. The artist was Peter Powning of New Brunswick. Peter’s work has been and continues to be a strong and constant influence in my work. He is a master of surfaces and skillfully combines different mediums effortlessly and beautifully. I remember flipping through that catalogue when I was a teenager and dreaming about having a catalogue of my own, of an exhibition of my work in a public gallery. Not only has that happened with this publication, but Peter Powning has generously written an essay for the catalogue. This is a highlight of my career, and something that I will always fondly remember.
