New Glaze Line Added to Web Store!
I enjoy glaze chemistry and the trial and error process of fine tuning a new finish. I'm happy to launch my newest glaze creation, Squamish Night, to my website. This glaze is a speckled forest green and deep cobalt that is reminiscent of the night sky. It reminds me of a memorable camping trip in Squamish where, late one night, we just stared at the open sky.

It's been a great summer!
Thanks to all of you who were able to visit me at my markets over the past few months. And my summer wasn't all about work - as you can see I managed to enjoy some lake time as well. Now back to the studio prep for a busy Fall.

All the best in 2023!
Wishing everyone a wonderful year ahead! Thanks for all your support in 2022. For me and my business, the new year offers a chance to slow down and play - to try new things and experiment. AND... I always take a break and head somewhere warm and befriend a sea lion or two!

A Fresh Start
For me, the start of a new calendar year is an opportunity to pause and re-energize after what is always a very busy holiday season. It's important to keep playing and to try new things - to keep the creativity flowing and to embrace challenge and failure. I look forward to this quieter time of the year and to trying new things to keep myself and all of you excited with my work! Wish me luck!

Markets begin to re-open
I am thrilled to be able once again to attend festivals and events! The pandemic made for a challenging year so it feels great to slowly be returning to normalcy. I think above all else I missed seeing familiar faces of colleagues and customers at markets and having little conversations and catch ups. I look forward to more face to face interaction in the months ahead!

A new deep green glaze with navy speckled undertones
It's always fun and challenging to put on my chemistry hat and fiddle around with new interesting glazes. I'm really please with the rich tones of my new Garibaldi Glaze Collection. I hope you enjoy it as well!

Having fun in 2021
The early months of the year are always full of a spark of creativity - less pressure means more time to play and try new things. I'm working on some new projects that I can't wait to share with you very soon!
