Dan Severance
Ceramics

I first did wheel throwing in high school and was lucky to have potters as teachers who encouraged me to take classes at the Shadbolt center in Burnaby, but like most youth it was adventure time and clay work was put aside. Twenty seven years later in 2004 I decided to try wheel throwing again. I took a beginners course with Gillian McMillan at the Port Moody Arts Centre followed by more courses taught by Clive Tucker. I take a lot of workshops to learn more techniques and broaden my skills which I pass on to students that I teach. My work now has shifted to hand building functional ware which I decorate with brightly coloured under glazes. I am also a member of the
BC Potters Guild and The Tri City Potters Group.
