Holiday Sale Profile – Sara Purves

Sara purves holiday 2019

Sara started taking pottery classes four years ago after retiring from her job as a teacher and administrator. Pottery has been a creative outlet for her, as well as providing lots of opportunities to keep learning. Sara finds it very inspiring to take something that you think is beautiful out of the kiln knowing that you created it! She enjoys hand-building and throwing; “both methods of working with clay are harder than they look but the possibilities are endless.”

It’s been so great to see Sara grow at our guild; we can’t wait to see what she brings to our sale this year!

Brenda’s creations are based on natural elements that pre-date recorded history. Dragons, Mythology,
and a touch of Art Nouveau are found in a variety of pieces that Brenda creates. She has both feet firmly
planted in the ceramics world, one in funk-tional, the other in sculpture.

Brenda continues to expand her repertoire , testing new forms and ideas. She will continue to grow her
new series “Jelly Bean Row Pots” based on the colourful houses from her Newfoundland origins. Nature
inspired sculptures are always on the horizon of possibilities.

You will find Brenda’s and 27 other potters’ work at our Annual Holiday Sale, November 29 – December 1, 2019 at our Talwood location.
