For the past eight years, I've been working with clay in my small hand building studio. Most of my pots are stoneware; when I have some energy and help, I also do raku and smoke firing.
Before my illness, I used clay as a primary vehicle when I worked as an art therapist. When I started potting again, my head couldn't remember how to do things, but my hands did!
My clay studio has been a life line. No matter how sick I am, there is usually something I can manage to do. It lets me enter a world where my symptoms fade into the background, and allows me to feel peaceful and whole again.
I SELL MY POTTERY THROUGH THESE VENUES:
www.kawarthawildspottery.etsy.com
Visit my online store, at "Etsy", an international market for art and fine crafts.
www.victoriacountystudiotour.com
This studio tour, north of the Lindsay/Peterborough area, takes place during the two weekends before Thanksgiving, when autumn colours are at their best.
Every year I have a booth with 2 dozen other potters, at the Northumberland Potters Juried Xmas Sale, near Port Hope, Ontario.
