Ginny Clark – “Ginny’s Practical Pots”

​My love of pottery began over 50 years ago when I began my collection. It wasn’t until I retired that I found the time to try making something myself. About ten years ago, I enrolled in a class session at Kawartha Potters Guild (Peterborough, Ont.) and I was hooked! I did a couple of wheel-throwing classes, but once I tried hand building, I felt I’d found my niche. Over the years, I’ve participated in many classes and workshops, both in-person and online. I love using texture, and many different glazes to decorate my pieces. When we moved to the Island three years ago, I was delighted to find a home with an indoor studio space, and within a ten-minute drive to Vancouver Island Pottery Supplies. Since then, I’ve become a member of the Arrowsmith Potters Guild where I’m learning new techniques and making new friends who encourage me on my clay journey.
