This month’ web page profile is from Andrea Revoy of Creston:

Whimsical...oddly out of the ordinary.

I could say that my whole life is whimsical
in some form or another.

lam aceramic artist from beautiful Creston,
B.C. where I live and make art in the middle
of a cherry orchard. It truly doesn’t get much
better than that! My pottery career began by
accident while studying painting in the Visual
Arts Program at Red Deer College, almost 10
years ago. Once I got my hands into the clay
there was no turning back and the possibilities
of things to create are endless.

Potters Guild of BC Newsletter - March 2013

I have always been attracted to whimsical,
colourful things full of patterns and textures.
I like things that evoke the feeling that there
is a story it is trying to tell, whether real or
imagined.

‘The ceramic pieces ] make are inspired by
events or things that I see and hear around
me every day that make me smile and laugh.
Whether it is my ceramic sculptures or
functional work, they become captivating

delights for the hand and eye.
