Born in England, Jenny has lived in Vancouver since the 1970's. She has explored many different forms as well as various types of firing her pottery, such as high-fire, raku and sawdust. She loves both hand building and wheel throwing. Always experimenting with different forms and glazes, opening the kiln is always a surprise. Jenny loves sharing her ideas and knowledge and has begun teaching beginners wheel and hand building at the cultural center.

Pottery
Anne likes to work with high decorative low fire ware, functional stoneware and Raku. All of her work is influenced by nature. The Raku firing process was developed in Japan in 1850. It is a unique way to fire pottery. Each piece is sealed with glaze that is high in copper, fired but removed when it red hot and the glaze is molten. It is then usually placed in a bed or bin of combustible material, causing the intense head reduction and giving a wide range of colour, luster and patterns. Raku pottery is porous and cannot be used for water or food unless the inside is glazed normally.

Pottery
John has lived and worked in Delta since 1978. He has been working in clay for over 15 years as well as teaching ceramics and giving workshops at South Delta Potters Guild. He studied ceramic at Kwantlen College and has taken many workshops at Metchosin Art School, Red Deer College and Nelson Art School. He recently built his own studio at home and this allows him to spend more time experimenting in different areas of pottery. Most recently his emphasis is on crystalline glazes. This gives him a greater dimension in surface treatment as well as a variety of colours and crystal shapes.
