Joanne Paas has been a member of the Burlington Potter’s Guild for many years. She is a regular participant in the Kaleidoscope and Christmas Sales at the Burlington Art Gallery. Her work has been displayed in one of the stops in the Fredrick Art Walk in Kitchener, the Grimsby Arts Festival, the Thorold Arts and Crafts Shows.
She now has a current presentation in a local sales venue at the Garden Gallery Holland Park in Dundas. Her most recent new venue was the Hamilton Potters’ Sale with over one hundred potters participating.
She enjoys working on the wheel as well as hand building and has recently begun working with unusual glazes. Her work is often functional with unique features for the hand building items where she likes to experiment with various forms and techniques.
Working with the earth is, “a way of immersing myself in the possibilities of creation where what at first is a lump of clay, becomes an outflowing of hand and body and vision and soul.”
