\nI began my journey as a potter in 1987 and studied hand-building techniques for 2 years at a City of Winnipeg recreation facility.\u00a0 After that brief introduction to pottery I drifted away from it when my career in music took over.\u00a0 Music was my first priority, but after working singer and songwriter for almost 25 years I became more focused on the business aspects of music rather than directing my energies towards the creative process of songwriting and\u00a0performing.<\/p>\n
In 1998 my path led me back to clay.\u00a0 I accidentally stubbed my toe on a bag of clay at a friend’s house and then asked if I could use some clay and make something. \u00a0Since that day I’ve noticed how nicely all things clay-related have fallen into my lap.<\/p>\n
In 1999 I found an independent studio in which to practice and got some intensive instruction on the potter\u2019s wheel, learned additional hand building techniques and new surface decoration techniques.\u00a0 I learned how to fire both electric and gas kilns.<\/p>\n
Since 2002 when I became a full time studio potter I\u2019ve focused on functional pottery. \u00a0I make pieces that are both hand built and made on the potter’s wheel; that are both functional and sculptural; that can be used every day to create beautiful meals and beautiful surroundings.<\/p>\n
I work mainly in stoneware and sometimes porcelain and high fire in an electric kiln. \u00a0I\u2019m surrounded by nature and therefore I’m greatly influenced by it.\u00a0 I often incorporate nature’s\u00a0objects into my hand built work (leaves, seed pods and grasses) to achieve a variety of surface effects.<\/p>\n
My path in ceramics has been comparatively easy to that of music. \u00a0I’ve been given supplies in the way of dried up old blocks of clay (which can be easily reconstituted), raw glaze materials, tools and bags and pots of vintage glazes. \u00a0Lately it is those things that have influenced my work the most. \u00a0Since these things find their way to me I honour their presence in my studio by working with them and letting them lead me in the creation of my functional ware. \u00a0My goal is to create beauty and character in each individual piece.<\/p>\n
Something different touches each of us when we hold a bowl, cup or teapot.\u00a0 What you feel in each piece of pottery is the living earth that has been transformed by the potter\u2019s hands by what is in their heart and soul and their creative mind.<\/p>\n
