Lori
creates functional works in stoneware and porcelain from
her home
studio
in Kitchener, Ontario,
Canada.
She has been a member of the Waterloo Potters'
Workshop
since 1992, and is a member of the Kitchener
Waterloo Society of Artists. Studies at the Workshop, the
Haliburton
School of Fine Arts, and with other potters have expanded her craft in
variety and dramatic colour.
Her
specialty is glaze development, and this is reflected in the
exceptional
variety of colours and textures that she produces. Working in both
electric
and gas fired media, Lori has a wide palette from which to
choose.
Her creations are always "one of a kind". Lori makes all of her
own
glazes, and uses only safe, and notably food safe, materials.
Lori
received the 1994 Novice Award as a member of the Workshop, and her
pieces
have been selected for exhibitions at the Canadian Clay and Glass
Gallery,
the Homer Watson Gallery, Wilfred Laurier's Langen Gallery and the
Harbinger
Gallery.
Lori's work is sold at her annual fall sale, at some Waterloo Potters' Workshop sales, and by special order (Kitchener area only). Since 2001 Lori's sale has been part of the Frederick Art Walk , a Kitchener artisan's tour and sale which was held this year on Saturday November 12, 2011. Some of the pottery that was available at the 2011 sale can be seen here.
