Wood-firing in a Tozan anagama kiln is a 4-day marathon, requiring planning and teamwork. In April, members and guests of Fired Up! gathered on Gordon Hutchens’ property on Denman Island. Hutchens describes this wood-firing as one of the best he has experienced in 25 years of operating his anagama kiln. Visitors to the Metchosin show can view this excellence in the quality and variety of ceramics on display: vases, tea pots and bowls, sculptures, dinnerware, containers and other intriguing treasures.

Metchosin Mighty Garage Sale
For more than two decades the Metchosin Community Association (MCA) has hosted a garage sale in support of the MCA and other community groups. This year the sale will be held on Saturday May 27 and Sunday May 28, 9am – 3pm at 4430 Happy Valley Rd.
The sale will again include a one-day silent auction for high-end goods, antiques, and collectibles on Saturday, and two days of a boutique for special items along with a general yard sale of furniture, household goods, small working appliances, sporting goods, clothes, bicycles, tools, garden items, books and other ‘stuff’. All proceeds go directly to support the MCA and other local groups.
This event is a fund-raiser for the Metchosin Community Association but it’s also an annual community event that enables families in Metchosin to support the Association’s work by donating things to the sale.
The Metchosin Community Association is a non profit group that is a“community-building” organization, open to all members of the community, with the purpose of initiating, encouraging and organizing a variety of educational, recreational, cultural and other community activities within Metchosin.
The Metchosin Community House serves as an information and resource centre for the entire community.

In the modern musical landscape, it’s rare to hear something as put-together as Cascadian folk duo West My Friend - something so layered, deeply symphonic, baroque, and mysterious in its own winking way while still courting an edge of disaster. Simple is safe, but complex is fiery, intricate, and ultimately more rewarding. Steeped in the visual styles of western Canada, West My Friend are veterans of the Victoria music scene and recently released their Independent Music Awards-nominated fourth album “In Constellation”. On this latest work, they continue to refine the art of creating achingly poignant folk music, only this time, they’re backed by a full symphony orchestra, heavily layered while remaining lighthearted. Intricate yet accessible. Melancholic yet optimistic.
Mingling grassroots guitar, accordion, orchestral instruments, and interweaving harmonies, In Constellation (produced by Joby Baker, co-produced and arranged by Adrian Dolan) is punctuated by musings on anxiety and belonging. Song structures vary and dynamics change from moment to moment, painting powerful lyrical portraits over backgrounds of violins and trumpets that swell, collapse, and tumble between bold harmonies. With over 700 performances and countless tours under their belt, West My Friend is bringing forth a new sound you’ve never known you’ve wanted and new meaning to the things you’ve never known you needed.
Guitar, Vocals / Eden Poynter. Accordion, Vocals / Jeff Poynter
