I enjoy the tactile feeling of the clay in my hands whether I am throwing or hand building. I find the process meditative and the experience as a whole grounding.
I attended the University of Manitoba School of Fine Arts back in the 80’s with a primary interest in drawing and photography. A few years ago I decided I wanted to take up throwing and enrolled in classes through the City of Winnipeg Parks and Rec program studying with Cindy Flynn and Joyce Tripp. With a growing interest in glaze chemistry and design combined with the desire to further my skills, I have recently returned to the U of M and am currently studying ceramics with Kevin Stafford.
My work is primarily functional. I enjoy experimenting with new forms, ideas and glazes. As my skill at throwing improves, my focus has been slanting more and more towards elements of design and style as I experiment with different glazes and finishing techniques.
