Carol Grant - Potter
 

Carol produces functional and decorative porcelain pottery. The properties of the clay itself lead Carol to continue to explore and refine new forms. Even though the form of each piece is of primary importance, her work is distinguished by a variety of glazing methods.
Wood ash, a traditional glazing material, can produce beautiful and distinct glazes. The final result depends on such factors as the species and age of the tree, and the soil on which it grew. It is exciting to work with a material whose results are not always predictable. The same is true for Raku, another glazing technique in which Carol also specializes.

Carol has taken pottery courses at Sir Sandford Fleming College, Canadore College and The Ottawa School of Art. She also frequently participates in workshops.
