Where I Create Art
Working on Stoneware berry bowls in my studio in Mulmur Ontario near Shelburne surrounded by a selection of my pottery including my new leaf platters.
I work in both Stoneware and Raku – for more information about these types of pottery and to see my designs explore my website and feel free to contact me with questions – email at:

Stoneware
Stoneware is fired in an electric kiln to over 1200 degrees C. Firing takes over 9 hours and then has to be allowed to cool slowly which takes 12 hours.
Raku
Raku is an exciting low fire technique where the pottery piece glazed in special glazes is heated to 1000 degrees C in a gas kiln in about 30 minutes.
The red hot pottery is then removed from the kiln using tongs and placed in metal reduction chamber containing combustibles – sawdust, newspaper and organic matter – leaves, pine needles and bark which instantly catches fire.
