When I was 13, I folded a piece of clay into some paper and tucked it into a time capsule a friend and I were making. On the slip of paper I wrote "is this the stuff of dreams?" I loved working with clay as a teenager and feel incredibly lucky to be a professional potter now. It is indeed the stuff of dreams for me. It has been such a powerful creative outlet that I only feel "myself" when I've been able to get a little muddy.

Currently, I am a part-time potter and stay-at-home mom. I work with clay nearly every day, either in my own home studio, or teaching and helping run the Stoneware Studio (778 Corydon Ave, Winnipeg, MB, Can.). I love the challenge of applying artistic concepts to functional pottery. Who says art can't be functional? It is one way I can add some beauty to the world, because even a coffee cup can be a meaningful part of someone's day. Little things mean a lot, even though we don't always realize it!
