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 […]

Indroducing California Quails
I have been playing with pinch pots off and on throughout my career. When I moved to Vancouver Island, I was entranced by these cute little guys who are abundant in my neighbourhood. I couldn’t resist making them. The California Quail are recognized by their distinctive plume that droops over their forehead. They are a highly […]
Playing with Clay – New Products
One of the reasons I have been a potter for so many years is because the clay never ceases to challenge me. Whether it be form, finish or design, the possibilities are endless! This year, I have felt particularly inspired to try out some new designs and ideas. I call this first line Rainbow Ware […]

New Crystals!
We had a great time at our studio sale last weekend, and as I had hoped, we created some space for new work. We want to thank everyone who came out to visit and support us. It’s always great to see old friends, new customers and neighbours. A lot of pieces have found new homes […]
