Let's introduce our talented team
Anneke Schagen
My interest in clay comes from the pleasure I get from allowing myself to feel the earthiness of clay and bringing a creation to life. I have been introduced to work with clay as a medium to develop creativity. Under the guidance from Pat and Beatrice, I become increasingly comfortable and familiar in finding my way with clay.

Asleep at the Wheel Pottery by Barbara Bakker
​
When I am asked why I chose pottery, I have to confess it was because I was given a kiln. I had no clue what I was doing when I fired my very first piece.
In retrospect, I know I did almost everything wrong, but what came out of the kiln is still one of my very favourite pieces. I was hooked!
Béatrice Eberhard
Béatrice Eberhard grew up in Switzerland and was certified as a ceramicist after a 5-Year study of ceramic art at the School of Art and Design in Bern. She worked in her own studio, and for many ceramicists all over Europe. Being co-head of a small pottery workshop for adults with various disabilities in the UK, taught her how to teach complex skill sets in the easiest way possible.
In 2000, Béatrice immigrated to Canada. She is particularly fascinated by the connection of the ceramic material with all 4 elements: earth, water, air and fire. Béatrice very much enjoys sharing her knowledge and skills at the Ganarts pottery.
