Gaia’s Garden
Mother Earth needs our help! As I write to you, we are all dealing with covid-19 and operating under physical isolation practises. This deadly virus has impacted all aspects of our lives and will do so for some time to come. But even before this virus took us down, Mother Earth has been losing the […]
New Work – New Galleries!
What a joy it is to wake up one morning and decide to explore brand new designs. I had this need for colour, colour, colour! So over the next few months, you will find a lot of new styles, drawings, designs in my work. Don’t worry, for the collectors that love my signature glazes and […]
Introducing Sacred Smudge Bowls
It’s always good fun to find new product lines in clay. The options are endless in this wonderful medium and we are only limited by our imaginations. Sometimes we rely on others to offer inspiration and new ideas. That is how Sacred Smudge Bowls entered my life. My daughter, who lives in Vancouver, was in a New […]

Classes and Workshops in 2014
In my last blog entry, I mentioned that I have renovated my studio, and part of that process was to sell off all my extra pottery wheels. Since then, I have received quite a few comments from former students asking what my plans are for teaching pottery. In addition, I receive regular requests from newbies […]
