"I invite you to explore my collection, to experience the connection between simplicity, nature, and the therapeutic qualities of handmade art."

Born in the Philippines, now residing in North Vancouver, I started on my pottery journey in 2014, following my deep-rooted passion for creativity and the desire to connect with nature. Recently retired from my 17-year career, I now devote my time to pursuing my lifelong dream of becoming a full-time ceramic artist. While my artistic journey has been largely self-directed, it has been enriched by the guidance and wisdom of fellow artists, mentors, and the pottery community. Their support and encouragement have fuelled my passion to new heights in my artistic practice. Inspired by the daily wonders of nature, from breathtaking sunsets to the intricate textures of rocks and landscapes, I strive to capture the essence of these elements in my pottery. With focus on simple and clean lines, my creations serve multiple purposes, to connect with friends to find both functionality and aesthetic pleasure in each piece.

Supporting Artists, Supporting Community

Circle Craft is more than a gallery or a shop. We're a co-operative, owned and run by the artists who make up our membership. That means when you buy from Circle Craft, your purchase goes directly back to the maker behind the work. No middlemen. No corporate margin. Just a community of over 140 B.C. artists building something together, and a place where craft, creativity, and livelihood are all the same thing.

Made in British Columbia, Canada

Circle Craft is rooted in B.C., where 140 artists across the province draw inspiration from some of the most extraordinary landscapes on earth. From the rugged coastline to old-growth forests to the high desert of the interior, our makers are shaped by the place they call home. That connection to this land isn't just inspiration. It shows up in every piece, every medium, and every collection we carry.
