This spring’s feature artist: Jill Graham
Jill is a potter working from her home studio in Ancaster. She enjoys making functional pieces that bring joy to their owner.
Jill always had a fascination with clay, the smell of it, the feel of it and the ability to shape it. As a young child, her father taught her to locate it in the bend of a creek where they would dig it up and haul it home so she could make clay pies and other creations.
She has attended a variety of clay classes, from hand-building to throwing, first as a hobby before becoming a more serious maker. Most of her studies have been at Dundas Valley School of Art where she participated in many classes, over many years.
