Where to Find my Work
I take part in a few annual local events. The Pacific Rim Potters group host an exhibition in spring on the Saturday before mother's day in May, and in autumn on the *first Saturday* of November. *Please note in 2022 only this sale will be held on the second Saturday, the 12th of November.* Scroll down for details.
I'm also part of a small group of artists who do a spring garden party in June and occasionally a seasonal show in December. [** 2022 I will not be doing the December show this year, but Lisa Samphire will be: www.samphireglass.ca ] Workshops if any are listed near the bottom of this page.
If you are in the Victoria area you are welcome to visit the studio by arrangement. I also sell from this website: click HERE. If you see something that interests you please feel free to contact me as many items never make it to my shop page!

Thank you to everyone who came out to our Spring Show May 7 at the Knox Presbyterian Church Hall, 2964 Richmond Road, Victoria. It was so great to see everyone again! And thank you also to our generous patrons who donated the $1017 raised in our door-prize draw, which has been donated to UkrainianSafeHaven.org
At this point in time the events listed here are set to take place and we look forward to welcoming visitors! If public health mandates change, cancellations are possible and may be beyond our control.
If in doubt please check back here close to the event date for most current information.
Heartfelt thanks to everyone who visited our Art in the Garden 2022 show and sale in Oaklands. It was wonderful to have so many visitors and connect in person with old friends and new.
There is always plenty of lovely artwork and, dare I say, sunny weather at this event!
Everyone is welcome to drop by this casual outdoor garden party of a sale. We'd love to see you!

TEACHING AND WORKSHOPS
I teach workshops by arrangement, on all aspects of the ceramic process. Contact me for information.
*No classes are scheduled at present.*
My most popular workshop: "Embellishing the ceramic surface, with the Versatility of Stains, Underglazes and Slips" This one day workshop will include demonstrations of ways that I use these colouring agents in my work. There will also be an opportunity to try your hand at applying what you learn on to your own clay body. We'll talk tools and materials, both commercial and studio-made and you will learn application techniques on soft and leather-hard clay, greenware, bisque-ware and raw glaze. I'll also guide you through some simple image transfer techniques. Layer up some of these techniques to develop and expand your own narrative in clay. It will be an active busy day of experimentation and exploration and we'll have some fun too!
