Creative Captures
www.creative-captures.ca
Creative Captures was
incepted by Mertina Blaskie, a self-taught
photographer with many years of experience
in doing all types of photography.
The idea behind the company was to
distribute her photographs, by way
of a greeting card, so that many people
all over the world could enjoy the
images that she captured.
Mertina focuses primarily
on wedding photography when she is
out in the field but when she is not
doing events, she can be found snapping
photographs in both internal and external
environments, finding the creative
side to most every object both animate
and inanimate.
If you are interested
in booking Mertina for your next event,
please contact her by telephone or
by e-mail using the information found
under the Contact section of this
website.
We appreciate your visit
here and we hope that you enjoyed
browsing our selection of greeting
cards and prints.
Pottery by Val Bridgeman
www.valeriebridgeman.com
 I
live in an old farmhouse in the Pontiac
countryside surrounded by hills, fields,
and bush, with a brook nearby. The
forms and textures I see around me
in nature find their way into my work,
whether it is clay or paper. I love
to play with sculptural forms in clay
but the practical side of me comes
out in the making of functional ware
as well.
I began making pottery in the evenings
as a high school student. My commitment
grew through an artists’ coop
at Pestalozzi College in Ottawa in
the early 70’s and a co-op store
in Shawville in the late 70’s.
The next decade was dominated by family
life and study. But by 1990, my husband
and I began to transform an outbuilding
on our farm into a studio. Each passing
year saw a small improvement in my
studio space. When I joined the Pontiac
Artists’ Studio Tour in 2000,
Richard built a large canopy addition
to display my work.
Come to my studio during the Pontiac
Artists’ Studio Tour, or
call for an appointment. Workshops
in clay, paper, and pressed flowers
are available on a flexible schedule.
