Summer Studio in Wells, B.C.
Joan Beck began taking pottery courses
in Yellowknife, N.W.T. while teaching there
in 1964. She then attended the Ross-Hughye
School of Pottery in Vancouver, B.C. and
eventually made her way to Williams Lake.
Here she found a community with
a well established pottery guild deeply
involved in a wide range of work with clay.
The following years found her attending
many workshops, taking a summer course
at Emily Carr in Vancouver and doing
extensive work with the medium,
both hand-built and wheel-thrown.
Earlier work with earthenware, electric
and gas-fired stoneware and majolica
have evolved into her current stoneware
(cone 6 and 10) and raku work.
"I am often surprised when I realize how
many years I've been working with clay.
The great thing is that it still excites me as much
now as when I took my first class in 1964."
