Nova Scotia artist Alice Hagen revisits centennial era craft
The article profiles Nova Scotia artist Alice Hagen living alone in Mahoney Bay. It notes her early devotion to painting for her mother, running an informal art circle, and forming the first Nova Scotia art school. It recalls her entry in a Lady Aberdeen contest to paint wild fowl pieces for a dinner set and her rare disappointment in never teaching pottery at a School for the Deaf. It mentions her late interest in glazes and pottery making after sixty. Also includes a brief, general health column on blood and anaemia and iron treatment.
