Christiane Fortier

Ceramics artist
Member Since: 
1995

Christiane was born in Montreal in 1948 and began her career as a potter in Vancouver in the 70's. Primarily self-taught, she worked for many years creating several lines of functional tableware.

Her more recent clay work - bowls and flower containers - explore new directions in shape, form and texture. These stoneware pieces (some joined in sections) are decorated with glazes, clay slips, metal oxide washes and are multified in an electric kiln.
