Nova Scotia, Canada

Hi! I’m Ash. I was born in upstate NY and now live in the beautiful Nova Scotia with my hubby and animals. I’ve always loved art, but did a number of different jobs before starting my journey as a full time artist in 2014. My growth as an artist has been constantly influenced by the kindness and support of others, what an amazing environment to flourish in!! I have been fascinated by ceramics since I was maybe 5 or 6 years old, but always thought it was out of my reach. Through a lot of encouragement, hype, and total enabling from Justin my hubby and Dani my friend and ceramic mentor, I took the plunge in November 2019 to get some basic supplies, February 2020 I bought my first kiln, April my first wheel, and then my second larger kiln came along a few months later. Safe to say I’m head over heels in love with this medium! Thank you for coming along the journey with me!  <3 Ash
