It began as a hobby in 1976 at the Minas Potters Guild in Wolfville, Nova Sotia, where I also attended university. In 1980 I apprenticed with Meat Cove Pottery at the far northern tip of Cape Breton Island. Working in handpainted porcelain tableware my present studio is in Canning, en route to the Fundy shores of Blomidon and Scots Bay. The studio is open daily by chance or appointment at 9842 Main Street, and I can also be found Saturdays at the Wolfville Farmers’ Market from May to December.
