Bio

Heather has been an ‘occasional potter’ for many years in addition to
her full-time career teaching courses in interpersonal and
intercultural communication in higher education, being involved in
teacher education, and facilitating workshops. During her ‘occasional’
potter time, she had the privilege of taking courses with and learning
from Cynthia McLean, and Louisa Leibman, and a specialized course
titled Painting with Smoke at the Burnaby Shadbolt center of the arts
with Linda Doherty. During her two years teaching in Hiroshima, Japan
in the mid 90’s, she joined a pottery circle and mentored with a
Japanese potter.

Most recently, and with her move to the Comox Valley, she has had the
opportunity to devote more time to pottery and has had the pleasure of
learning from Gordon Hutchens in the pottery courses at North Island
College.

She is inspired by the environment around her – the land, the ocean,
and the vegetation. She also brings home ideas through her travels.
Currently, she is exploring the interaction of clay and glaze, and
glaze on glaze. For forms, she loves making bowls
