Patricia Gibson believes handmade items have a story to tell, and that using them brings pleasure to daily routines. Moving from a previous obsession with textiles, Patricia has been making pots for over 10 years and has studied the art of ceramics in Arizona, Vancouver Island, and Salt Spring Island. Her current pots are named “Cottage Pottery“ in honour of her maternal grandmother, Mae Belle McMorran, who shared a studio with Emily Carr. Her visits to their studio as a child created a lasting impact on Patricia’s own path as an artist and maker.
