I began working at cone 6 in August 2010. I have been working in low fire slipware and majolica over the last number of years and now switch back and forth between cone 6 porcelain and cone 04 red earthenware.
I first started working in clay when I was 13 years old and went on to study at Sheridan College School of Design in Ontario, where I graduated as ceramics major way back in 1976. I have worked intermittently in clay over the years. I currently have an awesome studio space and and fire with a 7 cu ft German-built 2 phase front loading Nabertherm electric kiln which I bought used three years ago. I sell my primarily through the Eddyline Bistro Cafe, a restaurant that I opened in 2011.

    Hi Susan, thanks for your welcome!  I am also from northern BC.   I really like your "food for thought" piece.  As a photographer and potter,  I would  love to combine the two mediums.  What transfer method did you use for the coasters?  Do you have any other works like this? The mountain sunset displayed  on my page is  one of my photos taken of Sleeping Beauty Mountain.  P.S.  ...great last name you have!

    It's very gratifying to hear you say that you see they are miniature works of art. I do work on a small scale, but I'm also very intentional about the designs...many reference history, the world's and my own. I'm encouraged when I know that's getting through! Thank you ;)
