Anne has taught many glaze workshops around the province and recently on creating altered pots. She has participated in many Juried shows and Exhibitions in Ontario. Including Fireworks 2005, which is touring throughout Ontario for the next two years. She has also been awarded prizes for Best Functional 2005 and Best Non-Functional 2006 with The Ottawa Guild of Potters. Her work has been published in the US ceramic magazine Clay Times Sept/Oct 2005 as well as the FUSION Magazine Sept. 2005 and February 2006.

Anne enjoys splitting her time between teaching and spending quiet time in her studio setting challenges to create new elegant forms and to further develop her passion for detail and glazes.
