Hello, I’m Helga the resident potter at Grandview Pots and Ceramic Studio.
Grandview Pots is my home based pottery studio in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada.
I began throwing on the wheel in 1995 at the Art Gallery of Burlington and subsequently at the renowned Dundas Valley School of Art. Although my pieces are mostly hand built today, I do occasionally get back on the wheel.
In 2017 I established my home studio where I create all my pieces, except for class work made at A Third Space Pottery Studio.
My main influences to create come from nature, curiosity and from need. I also get many influences from my Caribbean roots where Art and free roaming chickens are a common every day sight.
My pottery can be found for sale on my Etsy shop, at the Third Space Pottery Spring and Winter Markets and in my shop.
