Minda Davis

Minda has worked with clay for many years, having first started one evening a week with Isolde Rest on Markham Street in Toronto’s Mirvish Village as respite from the corporate world. She is now a member of Hill Potters’ Guild a guild of close to 30 members located in Richmond Hill and has enjoyed creating her work and learning more there. She has also benefited from various workshops and conferences given by wonderful local and foreign artists.

Although she has done both hand building and wheel work, she now works primarily on the wheel and enjoys the feel of the clay as it moves into simple, graceful shapes that are both pleasing to hold and see and are useful. Minda believes that functional ware should be both beautiful and practical. She is inspired by the spirituality of being one with clay as it moves from potential to actuality.
