About Me

Introduction

I am from Calgary, Canada.

 

I started ceramics about 6 years ago learning to throw on the wheel.  Recently I have become interested in hand building and would like to try sculpting

What I Love about Ceramics

I love the focus of throwing on the wheel and concentrating on the clay.  I also enjoy the many different ways of building and glazing.  There is always something new to learn.

How I started with ceramics

I started taking classes at the City Recreation centre.

What inspires me

Lots of things…

Other people’s work, nature, animals, colours…

 

What I'm working on at the moment

I am experimenting  with underglazes at the moment and the different effects they have.  I am also trying to make larger items such as lamps and that are whimsical, fun and full of colour.
