Instructor
Hatice Erdogan
Hatice Erdogan’s artistic journey began when she entered the University of Fine Arts in Turkey, adopting a multidisciplinary understanding of art and finding her own personal expression through clay. Upon moving to Canada, she started working in the field of ceramics. Her work has been exhibited at the Gardiner Museum, DesignTO, and BigArtTO. According to Hatice: “Pottery is almost like meditation. Since clay comes from the soil, a natural material, it takes our negative energies away and relaxes us mentally. You don’t think about anything else while making pottery.”
