Joyce Gillespie - Place des Arts

Artist Statement

My love of gardening and anything small led me to make whimsical pieces to build tiny faerie gardens. A few years ago, I made an 8-foot totem for my garden and I thought this year I would make miniature ones for my tiny gardens.

Biography

Joyce has been working with clay for as long as she can remember…from childhood to the present. From creating crude pots made with clay dug from the earth, dried in the sun and painted with house paint to owning a kiln and firing and glazing her work. Joyce loves to work in miniature. You will find her garden filled with whimsical faerie gardens, many hidden creatures and tiny windows and doors in the trees.
