Pat Rokosh

Pat has been working with clay since 2001, having taken most of her formal training through the Mount Pleasant Arts Centre in Calgary. Her background includes engineering, communications, marketing, environmentalism and academia, which provides a great platform for both logical and creative thought. Now living and working at the Island School of Building Arts on Gabriola Island, Pat transfers her interpretation of the forest and the sea into her ceramics and glaze colours. Her work is functional, whimsical and multi-layer glazed, influenced by Dr. Suess, the Hobbits and things that are useful in the kitchen.

Pat is in the process of building a wood kiln, for her Timber Haus Studio, which will re-open the door to using all the elements in her work: earth, fire, water and wind. In the meantime, she is creating unique, and often one of a kind, ceramic art.
