Jug and Cups

Anne produces functional pottery for everyday use and special occasions glazed in colours reflecting her new rural environment.

Working in porcelain for over 25 years, what is most important to her in her work is the feeling a piece expresses, through its form, colour and energy.

Anne finds the intrinsic beauty of porcelain suits her functional forms. The translucency, whiteness and surface qualities of porcelain complement her elegant pieces.

An active participant in the craft community Anne has volunteered many years for both The Ottawa Guild of Potters and FUSION: the Ontario Clay and Glass Association serving as President on both boards. A strong believer in mentoring, Anne has presented many throwing and glazing workshops to pottery guilds around the province as well as teaching classes and mentoring from her studio.

In March 2011, Anne received the MERA Award for Excellence in Fine Arts and Fine Crafts. Also in 2008 Anne was presented with the prestigious Ontario Craft Council's lifetime achievement John Mather Award in recognition of her contribution and support of craft in Ontario.

Autumn Leaves

Ottawa artist Linda Curran began creating floorcloths in 1983. While extensive renovations were being done on her home she retreated to her basement with a piece of canvas and her paints. The result was her first floorcloth. Linda has developed her own techniques through trial and error. She makes use of high quality products to ensure the best durability possible. Although each piece is hand painted, Linda makes use of many different tools to create interesting backgrounds and effects.  Her work has been shipped all over the world.
Linda has been featured many times in local newspapers and television (the Ottawa Citizen, Regional Contact, breakfast @ the New RO, etc.)  Linda has also been featured on Sue Warden's "Craftscapes...the Entrepreneurial Spirit". She is a contributing artist to the book "Floorcloth Magic" (Lisa Curry Mair, Storey Books, released October 2001).
