| Introduction | Well for a long time I was a proffesional baker specializing in organic grains and flours. Breads and Pastries, european style.Homemade Puff pastry and danish pastries and croisants. In 2003 Garry and I wed. with that we both got 3 step-children, He, my 2 sons and 1 daughter, and I, His 3 daughters. they are all between 25 and 33 and endlessly interesting. In the past 5 years my oldest son and his wife have had 2 children,a girl, 5 ,and a boy 4, also endlessly interesting. In 2004 a friend opened a pottery school, being supportive I signed up not knowing it would change my life. I always though I would return to the Printmaking of my youth, now I combine all those skills in pottery. Garry has also taken lessons and has built a studio for us over his woodshop, where he is a Cabinetmaker/woodworker. But what we really love to do together (in Public) Is Dance, Ballroom dancing, Tango, Contra, which is a form of Irish/french canadian style of square dancing, danced to traditional reels and jigs,almost always to a fabulous local band full of friends. |
