featured potter of the month

June Parker

I joined Arrowsmith Pottery Guild just over 2 1⁄2. years ago after attending a class instructed by Barb Strachan, a talented instructor from the guild, and have enjoyed the sense of community and sharing here since.
I started my hobby of pottery in Calgary 35 years ago with Bob Reimer, a potter who shared his skill and humour. He is missed. After a 30 year break I am rediscovering the fun and challenge that pottery brings.
I enjoy that my functional pieces are always evolving and continually challenging. The reintroduction to pottery has given me an creative outlet A favourite component of throwing is playing with different techniques of surface texturing and experimenting with glazes.
