Windsor’s only full-service pottery studio is opening in the heart of Ford City this spring, equipped with everything you need to create your own beautiful pottery. We offer wheel and hand-building classes, workshops, corporate events, and monthly memberships for potters of all skill levels.
Gisele Bick has been practicing pottery for fifteen years, and teaching for eight from her home in St. Joachim. Her work, mostly composed of functional products, like mugs, dishes and bowls, and one off pieces, is bold and original, decorated entirely with glazes she creates herself. Her brand, G-Pots is available in retail stores across Essex County and she was awarded the Mayor’s Art Award for Lakeshore, in 2018.
Lisa Gabriele has been practicing pottery for three years, after first learning how to throw in high school, (from the same teacher as Gisele!) Her work is centred around one-off pieces, and small series, less functional than funky. She sells in a few local retailers in Toronto and Windsor. One of her pieces was showcased at the Toronto Potter’s Biennial at the Gardiner Museum, fall/winter, 2023.
