Jane is a professional clay artist, with a great deal of experience working with children, youth and adults, both in schools and in the community. In her workshops she strives to encourage a passion for clay as an expressive medium, and facilitates students developing the building skills to find a personal voice. She has recently been an artist in residence through ArtStarts at Golden Secondary School, completing with Grade 10-12 students a large clay Raku-fired mural on the theme of 'origins', reflecting the diversity of the population of this small Interior town. She has just completed a clay sculpture project for Grade 10-12 students, introducing the principles of 3D work and construction in clay, to explore and resolve students' individual concepts.
