In July 2018, I had the pleasure and the privilege of attending an intensive 2 week ceramics workshop under a Scholarship awarded to me by the Lunenburg School of the Arts. Under the instruction of noted and celebrated ceramic artists and educators, Walter Ostrom and Ursula Hargens at the Lunenburg School of the Arts, I learned an immense amount about ceramic surface design and techniques.

Window Display -Process
Here are some process shots from my recent window display for Carmen Jager in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. - June 2018
I was able to use the wood shop of a friend in town who builds boats to cut out my wooden display elements. I cut them out individually and then glued them together with a strong wood glue and sanded and painted them on my apartment deck.
The patterns for the paper cut were first drawn onto heavy weight drawing paper by hand and then cut out with an x-acto blade. This was an ambitious project and after about a month of planning and design, the execution happened very quickly over the course of 2 weeks.
First post
Hello! I'll be posting updates, sketches, and draft ideas over here.
Currently, I'm working on a design for a Jewelry window display in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. Here are some preliminary mock-ups. The idea is to cut the designs out of a heavy weight drawing paper and secure to the inside of the shop window with double sided tape. The centre piece will be a brightly painted silhouette to display the jewlery and catch the eye even from a distance.
