“My hope is to create individual pieces that are pleasing to the eye, yet are functional and a pleasure to use”

 

Although influenced by 18^th century English Slipware, I embrace the possibilities of modern design, materials & colorants.
Adapting the age-old technique of slip trailing to stoneware clay & with a steady hand I bring dimensionality to the surface of my work.
The result is highly decorative yet functional pottery, which is a pleasure to use or display.

About
Teresa grew up in the picturesque New Forest, in Southern England.

She attended vocational courses at Southampton College of Art and then served an apprenticeship with a local potter. In 1981 she established her own Pottery Studio, operating out of a former undertaker’s carriage house, next door to a local forest pub where she once worked in the kitchens.

She immigrated to Canada with her husband in 1988, settled in Kanata and learned to adapt her craft to the new world materials.

After moving out of her Kanata basement workshop in 1998 to her Studio “with a view” on four acres in rural Ottawa, her work became more intricate and reflective of her familiar country environment.
