spends four to five hours a night in his
basement workshop; on top of his full-time
job.
Boland buys the glass already stained
and usually works from prepared pat-
terns, although he has created patterns of
his own on occasion. The glass is then cut
into components for assembly, then the
pieces are washed ( often by his daughter
Karla), the edges are ground, then taped
together with copper foil tape.
The final process involves soldering,
either with lead cane or copper foil, the
pieces -'together. Boland has spent as much
as 35 hours on a single project and the time
is reflected in the craftsmanship.
"They look pretty finshed," When com-
plete, said Boland, partly because he takes
the time to run the solder bead inside, out-
side and around the edges of his projects.
Many stained glass workers, he said, only
run their beads on the outside.
The art of creating from stained glass
has grown more popular in recent years,
Boland said.
"It's really been catching on. A lot of
people are trying it."
Boland's booth at the festival will be
shared with his sister-in-law'Ann Dedman,
who specializes in wood and ceramic
nrnanlents.
WILDLIFE ARTIST
Local wildlife artist, Geoffrey Dotterer,
strives to give the animals and birds in his
paintings dignity.
He feels they are losing dignity and enjoys
painting animals on the verge of extinction
to capture what may be lost.
Dotterer, 50, has a. collection of wildlife
books and he tries to learn as muc'li as he
can about the animals he paints.
"If anyone asks me about the animal, I
can answer their questions," he said.
Working from photographs, Dotterer first
sketches the subject and then adds his own
backround and colour. Ln the future he
would like to go'out in the wild and take.his
own pictures. Wildlife painters, such as
Robert Bateman are also naturalists, he
said.
Originally from Schnectady in -upstate
New York, • Dotterer came to Goderich in
1974 to live with his brother and parents. His
brother, Lorne, is the organist at Knox
Presbyterian church. •
His father;Herbert, is a cartoonist and his
mother, Wilhemina, is also an artist, who
paints portraits and landscapes and she
started his interst in painting when he was
18. However, he did not paint for a long time
and began to paint again four years ago. He
has never taken lessons. His parents moved
to Goderich in 1961.
Currently he is a night security guard at
Champion Road Machinery but has had
other occupations that gave fuel to his art.
He was a lab-technicion in a steel foundry in
Preston where he took metal splashings (the
hot metal drippings from molds) and
painted pictures around the' intricate
designs produced by the metal.
"A friend_,has,on bolted to his wall. It
weighs about 180 pounds," said Dotterer. •
He is also interested in modern art and
• has dabbled in a Cubist style of painting.
Dotterer's interests are wide ranging and
he has an affinity for South American music
and culture. He went so far as to apply to
Berkley University, the National Gebgrahic
and the Earth Watch (a conservationist
society) for expeditions. His mountain clim-
bing experience in the Navy prompted all
three to accept him. However, he has been
unable to raise enough money to go.
Berkley is conducting an archaeological ex-
pedition to South Anferica and is' the one
that most interests him.
The time he spends on a painting varies,
some take weeks, some take months and
some, he said, he puts down and comes back
to later. He sells his paintings for between
$125-$250.
CERAMICS
Suncoast Enterprises will take a seasonal
angle this year at the annual Festival of
Arts and Crafts show with ceramics ranging
from Halloween to Christmas along with
other products made such as bathroom sets
and soap pumps.
Everything from making 'molds to.pain-
ting ceramic pieces is done at Suncoast.
Sharon Johnstone, a staff member in the,
ceramic depa'r'tment who once owned a
Goderich wildlife artist, Geofrey, Dotterer shows off some of the paintings he will be ex-
hibiting at the annual Festival of Arts and Crafts, July 16, 17, and 18. Dotterer said he
strives to give the birds and animals in his painting dignity.. Some of his works depict
animals on the verge of extinction to capture what may be lost.(photo by Ted Spooner)

preparation for the upcoming Festival of Arts and Crafts show. Suncoast Enterprises will

Yvette Zandbergen)
ceramic business in Goderich, explained the
process.
A liquid slip is poured into plaster molds
and after it is set it forms a piece of mold.
Sanding is done after the mold is made and
following ,this, the pieces are fired in a kiln.
This takes up to 24 hours with the first firing'
at 2150 degrees Fahrenheit. The piece can
be painted or glazed after thefirst firing and
if it is glazed, it must be fired again to a
temperature of 1850 degrees. This is the
stage where decals can be placed.
The piece is placed in the kiln yet another
time at 1500 degrees.
The ceramic piece can be decorated by a
variety of methods including painted black
(staining), antiquing, or dipped in a pail for
glazing.
