Caroline Payne
Potter
Caroline first tried ceramics while finishing her degree in Creative Writing at the University of Victoria. She took Ceramics as an elective in her final year and was immediately drawn to the tactile and physical nature of the art form. She knew immediately that she had to pursue pottery and began volunteering on the production line of a local studio in Victoria.
After gaining some more experience, she decided to apply to Ceramic Art School and after acceptance, moved to Nelson to pursue Ceramics full time. Post graduation she got a position as Pottery Studio Manager at the Fernie Arts Station and moved back to Fernie to begin her role. She now works out of the community studio she also manages and makes her work on her days off.
Caroline is inspired by fairy tales and whimsy. She hopes her art can brighten peoples days and bring a little magic to their lives!
