Pottery Workshop On Salt Spring Island

I am just home from a great 2 day pottery workshop on Salt Spring Island at the Hey Julie School Of Clay with Julie MacKinnon.  Great instructor and facility and a potential pottery residency for September!  🤞🏼.  We are going to further discuss.  Stayed with Kim!  Great weekend.

A much better end to the month of January and start to February!








January-2026 Begins

Well, a nasty holiday season of being sick and feeling so awful and after a second round of meds and 12 days into January, I ventured forth for my belated, pivoted winter away from the cold.   Lee’s, Salmon Arm and finally to destination Lake Cowichan.   Lovely, quiet, wood smoke scented, foggy, lovely Lake Cowichan.  So much green.  So much fog.   A week of sun and then the expected rain..but gentle, warm, lovely rain.   I painted, walked and continued to rest.
