13-14 May – End of residency solo show, Montebello Design Centre, Cape Town, South Africa
August 2024 – I applied to 1001 Pots' residency program and was selected. I spent one week in Val-David, building works for my new Arctic series, which celebrates the fragile beauty of northern ice.
April-May 2022 – Invited six-week self-directed residency at the John Bauer Ceramic Studio & Gallery, Cape Town, South Africa. During my stay, I built and glazed ten maquettes; attended a weekend workshop on alternative firing techniques; made tiles for, and participated in, the 25th Porterville Mosaic Festival; taught a three-hour workshop on underglaze paper transfers; and had an exit solo exhibit in the Bauer Gallery at the Montebello Design Centre. I also interviewed South African artists Sandile Cele and Lissa Classens for Ceramics Monthly. Finally, I visited several pottery studios and galleries to discover their practices.
