A couple of years ago I rejoined the Cowichan Valley Artisans group following a hiatus of a few years. It has been great to work with like-minded artisans again and the two annual tours are definitely a highlight for me.
The Fall Studio Tour is literally around the corner and I will be opening my studio this coming weekend Saturday October 26 and Sunday October 27, 10am-5pm for all Valley travelling arts enthusiasts.
Enjoy your art-seeing throughout the Valley and I will look forward to welcoming you to my studio.
Join me and 15 other Cowichan artisans as we open the doors to our studios at the end of the month, October 26+27 10am-5pm.
I have been busy in my new studio and will have a series of freshly fired pieces ready for the weekend, including teapots, bowls, mugs and vases.
And in case you missed meeting Tina Fyfe and her beautiful leather bags on my last Open Studio event her bags are still on display in my studio so stop by for a visit and enjoy perusing all the new creations.
Come visit the studio this Saturday, October 5 10am-4pm. This Saturday I am excited to be joined by Tina Fyfe and her amazing leather bags. I will have a selection of freshly fired mugs, new vases as well as bowls. Tina is a remarkably creative force. She has worked in a variety of mediums and has recently devoted her artistry to leather. More about Tina and her work....

In the summer of 2023, I moved my clay studio to its new location in the heart of Duncan. Moving a clay studio is no small feat! And, I am thrilled to have it up and firing at the new location.
This September 14th between 10am-4pm, I invite you to visit my new space at 1026 Islay Street and explore what I have been up to this past year. My hands have been busy and I have lots of new works available.
I look forward to seeing you.

This past weekend - April 27 & 28 - during the Cowichan Artisans' Spring Studio Tour I opened my new studio for the first time. Getting the studio ready for visitors felt a bit like a race against time and had I had the option of postponing for a few weeks I would happily have accepted the offer. But as the tour was fast approaching I pushed through and manged to get the place set up and was overwhelmed by the number of guests that came by to see what I had been up to this past year. The studio on Islay Street is now a reality and I can't wait to open it again in couple of months time....
