Where to Find my Work
ONGOING: A selection of my work is available in the gift shop at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, 1040 Moss St, Victoria.
I take part in four annual local events. The Pacific Rim Potters group host an exhibition in spring on the Saturday before mother's day, and in autumn on the first Saturday of November. I'm also part of a small group of artist friends who do a spring garden party in June and a seasonal party in December. Scroll down for details of these events and others that come up.
If you are in the Victoria area you are welcome to visit the studio by arrangement. I also sell from this website. If you see something that interests you please feel free to contact me as many items never make it to my shop page!

TEACHING AND WORKSHOPS
I teach workshops by arrangement, on all aspects of the ceramic process. Contact me for information.
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!
