Cheryl Wyre, a well-known Toronto potter, was awarded Honorable Mention, Burlington Kaleidoscope 2002.

Other members are graduates of training programs in ceramics or fine arts, and have attended summer courses and /or a wide range of workshops with pottery masters.

Work Samples

Most of my work is hand built. The clay is altered by stretching and then cut into slabs which form the walls of my pieces. The glaze is applied and wiped off the outside so that some of the glaze stays in the crevices between the slabs and gives an earthy or wood look to my work.
