"CROSSING BORDERS,STEPPING OVER THE LINE,
AND PUSHING THE LIMTS, ALTERING POTS”
Exploring alterations by carving, cutting, scoring, stamping and manipulating to create new shapes and ideas"

Meira Mathison has maintained a studio, Dancerwood Pottery, in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada for over 26 years. Described as dynamic and fun, she has been conducting popular clay workshops throughout British Columbia, Alberta, the U.S., and Mexico. Meira is particularly noted for her unique high-fired altered porcelain and her distinctive Raku style and surface treatments.

Of her work, Meira says: “I love what I do! Whether is is making a pot or participating in discussions with other artists, or teaching and helping people stretch their abilities. My pots reflect my life- ever changing, nothing static; a life full with color, fun, pushing the limits...”

Meira especially enjoys the mentoring aspects of teaching and enjoys setting up challenges for students that pushes them beyond mere techniques and into their own personal reflections that elevates their work “over the border” and into the realm of true art.

Meira’s work is widely exhibited throughout Canada and has been highlighted in many books and publications others, ’Clay and Glazes’ by Daniel Rhodes, ‘Ceramic Spectrum,’ by Robin Hopper, and ‘500 Tea Pots’ - ‘500 Bowls,’ Lark publishing.

Since 1992 Meira has also been the much admired Executive Director of the Metchosin International School of Art in Victoria,B.C.
