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.... Tina Fyfe is a Vancouver Island artist who directs her eye on nature and organics. The leather bags in her Fóghnan Design series are created by hand, and with the help of a 1914 Singer Patcher treadle sewing machine. Ninety percent of the leathers used in this series are sourced from shoe...
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.

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....
Towards the end of summer last year, I moved my studio from its previous location on Richards Trail into the heart of Duncan. Moving a clay studio is not the simplest of moves with all the heavy equipment, kilns, work tables, buckets of glaze and glaze chemicals along with clay, clay and more clay. Thankfully the new space is ample and with lots of potential so work tables and drying shelves quickly made themselves at home. For the first couple of months I mostly tried to absorb and get a feel for the new surroundings. I tried a bit of this, and moved things around, then tried a bit of that. It took a little while for me to feel...

Seconds are pieces that have some small flaw but are still quite usable – so it's an opportunity to find your new favourite mug or other piece at a discount!
I also ask anyone so inclined to wear a Tutu. This creates a carnivalesque atmosphere on a midwinter’s day and what’s more it offers 22% savings off all regularly priced clay pieces in the Gallery.
