Jill Graham - potter
Jill always had a fascination with clay, the smell of it, the feel of it and the ability to shape it. As a young child, her father taught her to locate it in the bend of a creek where they would dig it up and haul it home so she could make clay pies and other creations.
She has attended a variety of clay classes, from hand-building to throwing, first as a hobby before becoming a more serious maker. Most of her studies have been at Dundas Valley School of Art where she participated in many classes, over many years. She also studied glaze chemistry at Fleming College in Haliburton and Porcelain Paper Clay at Peter’s Valley School of Craft in New Jersey.
Currently, Jill loves working from her home studio making functional stoneware pieces. Her focus is on bright happy glaze colours and she is known especially for her turquoise and purple glaze along with her heart mugs.
