This month’ web page profile is from Pamela Nagley Stevenson of Winlaw:

Pamela Nagley Stevenson was born in
Honolulu, Hawaii, and majored in ceramic
studies at the University of Hawaii, the
University of Victoria and the Banff Centre
for the Arts.

She has been a studio potter in the
mountainous Slocan Valley since 1976, and
she has taught clay studio and ceramic history
courses at the Kootenay School of the Arts at
Selkirk College in Nelson, B.C., since 1993.
She specializes in making high-temperature
porcelain vessels suitable for daily use and
ceremonial occasions. Her work embraces the
vital relevance of sacred mythologies and the
traditional faiths of many cultures.

it in collaboration with colleagues Susanne
Ashmore, Diane Burt and Cameron Stewart.
Each firing has been spectacularly successful
and her new work continues to evolve in form
and. surface, celebrating complex luminous
surfaces of rich flashing with joyful accents
of brighter colors achieved though slips and
soda glaze.

"Spinning out of ancient cultures and gentle
gestures, my mythopoeic pottery plays with
archetypal forms and symbolic references,
and invites both contemplation and intimate
functional use. I ask my clay work to
communicate in the universal language of

devotion, offering and libation.”
