About this Event
Use underglazes, decals, stamps and more to decorate your very own, handmade ceramic mug. Mugs will be built and pre-fired by artist Kyrsti Huber, allowing you to decorate it to your heart's content! Mugs will be left to be glazed and fired a second time, and then we will contact you when your mug is ready to be picked up.
About the Artist, Maker and Educator:
In November 2021, Krysti Huber became the first artist to take part in the Ceramic Arts Residency program at the Canadian Clay & Glass Gallery. Krysti Huber is the founder of Scarlet Oak Ceramics, a small batch pottery studio based out of Bright, Ontario.
Artist’s Statement:
My passion for purchasing pottery has transformed into a passion for creating it. As a lover of coffee, currently the bulk of my creations are mugs.
Throughout the COVID pandemic I found myself overwhelmed trying to balance motherhood, a 9-5 job I wasn't really into, and further developing my ceramic skills. Once my children were in bed, I would put on Ben Howard and hone in over the wheel throwing until I went to bed. Finally gaining enough confidence and a 'what the heck' attitude, I officially started a business and began attending shows to sell my creations.
Then something magical happened. This past year I was selected as an emerging ceramic artist with the Canadian Clay and Glass Gallery funded by KW art fund. Through this residency I have been able to make so many wonderful connections in the local pottery scene and have truly been humbled by the support they have given me.
I have an education in interior design, and I love to make functional ceramics that double as decor.
