Stoneware for function or fun. Warm earthy colors with that feel good touch to them. Food safe glazes, oven, microwave & dishwasher safe. I was a late bloomer finding my creative outlet. Never really knew I had anything to offer in regards to the Art world. We are a Military family & a posting in Kingston Ontario in 2011 changed my life. I found clay or rather it found me. We've been a creative team ever since. I do work on the potters wheel as well as hand-building with slabs, coils, pinch pots & paddling. Most potters pick one of these areas, me, I love them all & can't image having to pick just one. Each method produces a different product both in appearance & feel. I also use a variety of glazes. All lead free & food safe. The majority of my glazes are home made following recipes not unlike a kitchen, except instead of a pretty apron I look like a mad scientist safely protected from my chemicals in a crazy get up that includes goggles, a proper face mask & gloves up to my neck lol.I want to create pieces that love to be touched. Pieces that beg you to feel them, explore the process, take a journey with me in them. My color palette is nature inspired. Soft warm colors creating a sense of calming or peacefulness. Nothing loud & screaming, just warm & welcoming with a splash of whimsy. A pottery hug I suppose. I've been taught by many wonderful & successful potters, have attended many workshops, a Member of the Kingston Pottery Club as well as being a member of the glaze making team & kiln community. I hope my pieces make you smile, make you want to touch them, to use them, to go back to basics & appreciate what a wee bit of clay can become. Clay... it's been here long before us & will be here long after we leave.more...See more text
