Elsa’s potting career
began initially as a past time, but quickly grew into a
full- fledged obsession. She is primarily a self-taught
potter, who’s spent over 15 years focusing her attention
on raku pottery, and using raku fired works in
non-traditional ways. Early on, she began using tiles
with rich copper sheen for table-top surfaces, fireplace
surrounds and wall accents.
One of her various specializations includes horse-hair
raku pottery. This firing method results in pottery
which resembles the look of exotic wood or marble.
Incorporating the crackled glazed effects of American
raku, together with her horse-hair techniques, Elsa
continues to create a style of pottery that is truly her
own, and pieces that are definitely outside of the norm.
Most recently, Elsa has begun to explore her talents in
architectural ceramics, working in large scale sculpture
for outdoor installation and indoor exhibition.
Elsa is co-owner of Night & Day Studio, together with
her husband and fellow potter, Paul Kaye. Their home
and studio is located on a idyllic treed property just
south of Mount Forest, Ontario. Visitors are welcome
year round to browse their on-site showroom. Classes
are available..check their website for details.
