Joyce Gillespie - Place des Arts

Artist Statement

I am a BC-based artist, and I find joy in the delicate art of miniature ceramics. My work for Positively Petite features lidded trinket boxes adorned with whimsical birds, cats and other creatures. Each piece is a blend of hand-building and wheel-thrown techniques. Through these small yet detailed creations, I aim to evoke a sense of wonder and nostalgia, inviting viewers to explore a miniature world where craftsmanship meets imagination.

Biography

I am a primarily self-taught ceramic artist, specializing in hand-built and wheel-thrown pottery, with a focus on whimsical and imaginative themes.
