With formal training in drawing and painting, other methods for gaining experience and knowledge in ceramics were obtained through the years of volunteering and working with community clay studios. Wendy began teaching hand-building classes, mentoring artists, then working as a Studio Technician. Caring for the clay community of artists in Toronto is a major part in Wendy’s artistic practice and continues to grow by providing firings, sharing knowledge and making connections with artists through collaboration. She makes functional hand-built wares with burnished walls to invite a softer connection, to form a deeper appreciation for the experience of sharing a meal, a drink, and time together.
