EVERYTHING tn Ron Tribe’s studio is white. The
light sifting through the clay dust is white, Tribe's
dust coated hands and shoes are white, as are the
cool clay figures, shelf upon shelf of them, ringing
the room. Sweeping teardrops, ragged ice bergs,
oblongs with gaping mouths, dusters of each shape,
are all waiting for the delicate glazes Tribe will later

apply to them.

stick things into them,’’ he
grumbles).

Tribe, among a multitude
of craftspeople and artists,
will be displaying his work
this weekend, November §
and 6, at the Sheraton Land-
mark Hotel.

He is unique perhaps, in
the road he has travelled to
reach the title ‘artist’. Tribe
spent twenty years in
marketing before becoming
an artist.

“*It was the seventies,”* he
says, “‘And you were suppos-
ed to be doing your own
thing.”’

Marketing definitely
wasn’t his thing, and a few
art classes at Capilano Col-
lege convinced him that

creating was.

‘‘T might have been a
reasonable painter. But the
clay came easier to me.”’

Tribe’s favorite words for
his ceramics are ‘‘pure,”’
‘pared down,’’ ‘‘stylized”’
Though the vessels are simple
and distinct in line, there 1s
no harshness in them. Many
of the pieces follow warm,
full curves.

As his work makes a suc-
cint statement, he shies from
a curious public prying into
his creative process.

‘*People who write about
what I do make it sound like
a muffin recipe.”’ These days
he passes out a PR _ folder
compiled by a writer friend.
