Hi, my name is Erika and I am a multidisciplinary artist currently located on Vancouver Island, B.C.
Working professionally between photography, digital photo editing and illustration since 2010, pottery has become my main focus from 2016 onward after taking it on as side project in 2015.

With some playful pieces in the mix, the majority of my work is currently of functional nature. I like to think the work I make is simple yet unique in itself, making each item fit into your life seamlessly with thoughtful form, colour and function.
I believe on top of just being beautiful and enhancing our experience, handmade pottery brings us to be more conscious of where the dishes we use came from (or any items we bring into our homes really).
My hope is that by noticing details that an object has a human touch, that you met the maker and carefully select your pieces, or that it was lovingly chosen for you as a gift will steer us towards more thoughtful consumerism.
The ultimate goal with the pieces I create is that they become part of your every day life and bring you comfort: in daily rituals, gatherings with friends and family, and on and on...

Everything is made by my own two hands: the majority of my pieces are wheel thrown and sometimes hand built, glazes are mixed in house and everything is fired in my studio. All product photography also by yours truly unless credited otherwise.

Illustrations stamped on my shipping boxes and shopping bags as well as on my contact page are by Célia Marquis - check out her work here!

Thank you for stopping by :)
