Peggy has been a potter since 1977 and has worked in sculpture, porcelain, crystalline glazes and wheel thrown functional work. She is mainly self taught, but has attended numerous workshops and courses across Canada. In addition, she has served on many art committees in Saskatoon, Richmond Hill and East Gwillimbury throughout her pottery career. She has been a teacher both to children and adults for over 25 years and currently holds wheel throwing classes at their home studio, Turning Point Arts, in Saltair.
She has won several awards for her decorating and throwing expertise. Peggy incorporates her career in counseling with her love of clay in her Creative Healing workshops and feels that the clay is a portal to getting in touch with your innermost emotions. Her love of entertaining inspires her to make beautiful vessels in which to serve food. Her work encompasses everything from fine high fired porcelain with hand painting and crystalline glazes to earthy garden pieces, fountains and scuptural wall plaques.
 
Peggy is also an accomplished author. Her second book was released in October 2008. As a member of the Ladysmith Writers Circle, she co-authored her first book. Peggy is a winner of NaNoWriMo in 2009 and in 2008 with a 76,000+ word manuscript. |
