GRATITUDE TO SHARE SHOW UPDATES, PROCESS SHOTS & MUSINGS WITH YOU
School is a passion of mine. Out of the last 21 years, I have been enrolled in post-secondary institutes for 20 of them. I am currently working on a Diploma in Cultural Resource Management from the University of Victoria, Continuing Studies since 2017.
What do Lore by Alexandra Bracken, Circe by Madeline Miller and the Whatever After Series by Sarah Mlynowski have in common? They are all great examples of feminist literature that question previous well-known patriarchal stories.
I find this video slow and inspiring. I would like to slow down yet, there is so much I would love to add to my pages. I have book reports, videos I’d love to create, and of course, so much more ceramics to add! For now, please enjoy this sunset video I took last May 19, 2020.

Co-vid 19 has been an interesting journey. Classes cancelled, life on hold. Some people found themselves with an abundance of time and some people found themselves without anytime as life was filled with more family and work requirements. I was in the later category. Much of this work was in the kiln, ready to bisque before March 2020, but I was unable to complete the final details and fire until mid-August. I am so grateful to finish this work in August and with schools opening up, look forward to finding new studio time.
As we start the new year I am sad that the course I was going to teach at Artsplace, Canmore was cancelled. Although this opportunity didn’t happen for me, some really great things that I am very thankful for did.
Here is my list:
I am now connected to Artsplace and I have been called to do a party course, try-it throwing drop in and a try-it hand-building 2 hours workshop. All amazing experiences.
I have been signed up to teach a course in the spring. I am super-thankful for the second chance.
I created videos for marketing the “Gaining Weight and Throwing Down” course and have been having a blast doing so, here is one: https://youtu.be/RUMLgX4uKaM More can be found on my new Youtube channel! lol!
Nicole Fougère, Programs Manager at Artsplace said very kind words about my on MountainFM. It was humbling to hear. I will attach the link here (start at the 3.33): https://www.mountainfm.ca/2020/01/06/artsplace-winter-programming/
