Artist of the Day: Faro Annie Sullivan aka Dirty Girl Clayworks
I am studio potter and teacher living on Vancouver Island. After many years without a place to call my own, I opened my studio and gallery, Dirty Girl Clayworks in 2004. My pots offer a contemporary, playful perspective on creating artful pottery that one can use to celebrate the everyday moments as well as unique occasions.
My work is informed by historical slipware. I use bright, fun colours, images, and text which reflect my belief that playfulness is an integral part of life. I have a love of words, both oral and printed. I find that the slip wants to be written on and into, carved and layered.
Text and simple, silhouette style stencils are the basis of my surface decoration. With this simple base I use printmaking techniques and inspiration from graphic novels, photography, poetry, politics, graffiti, and children’s books to tell stories on clay.

Artist of the Day: Jacqueline Robins
Jacqueline Robins works with clay, a timeless medium. In turn, she is compelled and inspired by the notion of heirloom. The cycles of life are a re-occurring theme in her work especially pieces that celebrate and record significant events in people’s lives.
Utilizing a variety of printmaking techniques, Jacqueline Robins illustrates and imprints the clay. When it is fired, the images and words are forever embedded in its surface. Her vessels are thus a narrative record: fragments of love letters, sheet music, photographs, maps, mementoes, and found treasures.
Vessels as memoirs, capturing specific moments, vessels as allegories: Jacqueline’s work is intended to be lived with, telling its story for continuing generations.
Jacqueline Robins lives in Vancouver, BC. By day she is a technician at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. By night, she slings clay in her East Van studio. Sailor, her black lab at her side.
Robins’ formal education in drawing, printmaking and ceramics was at Emily Carr, followed by an apprenticeship on Saltspring Island, BC. Robins has work in private collections throughout Canada, The United States, Europe and Japan. In her free time, she is learning to fly fish and is hunting for derby skates online. She also feels really awkward writing in the third person.
