What sparked my interest in pottery
- I was introduced to working with clay in a high school art class and discovered the joy of creating pottery during pottery classes given by the City of St. Albert.
- I use the pottery studio as a place to unwind on the potter’s wheel, visit with creative people, and create art as a hobby.
Favourite tool
- The wheel
- When trimming I enjoy using a carving tool to create unique patterns
Favourite (pot) (vessel) to make
- I am drawn to creating functional, one-of-kind bowls, goblets, and mugs that have nice shapes and layers of dripped colours
Favourite glaze or glaze combination
- Slip trailing
