About
I am a full-time clay artist and single parent (of fabulous twin girls) on Salt Spring Island BC.
I have made high-fired, small batch porcelain tableware for over 20 years. My work has been exhibited and collected throughout Canada and internationally. I have had the luck to have designed bodies of work as collectables for large companies and been a vendor at the Salt Spring market for 16 years.
Alongside my studio practice I have passionately taught hundreds of clay workshops, beginners through advanced, developing my student’s curiosity, voice and excellence. My studio has always developed community outreach, sharing the opportunity to experience workshops and the joy of clay.
"The Hey Julie School of Clay" opened its doors October 2022 offering regular drop-in space, workshops, and apprenticeship/mentorship programming.
I am passionate about the healing powers of clay and supporting the artistry, professional development and sustainability of women potters.
I now travel and teach workshops in many studios throughout Canada.
My home studio is located on Salt Spring Island, BC. If you're lucky enough to visit our beautiful piece of the world, I would love to share my work and my school with you.
