Meet Carol-Ann Michaelson. I make work that engages me, first of all, the work I love, whether it be functional or one of a kind pieces. I love pots that have a strong form and a movement to them and I always hope that they also engage the viewer on an intellectual and emotional level. Once people bring my pots into their homes, I hope that the pieces are enjoyed and used for years to come. Carol-Ann Michaelson has been a potter for over thirty years and during that time she has been invited to exhibit her work, to take part in residencies and teach across North America, in Europe, China and Japan. Her work graces fine homes, galleries and museums around the world and she has had the honour of winning numerous awards and scholarships. Her primary pursuit revolves around functional forms, pieces that are lovely to look at, to hold and to use. She believes it is only as people handle and use a pot, that its true beauty is revealed. Her work is complete when the user has enjoyed the comfortable handle, felt the lip of the pot on their mouth, or dined and lived with a piece. It is the subtle difference that a good pot makes to the daily rituals that she strives to attain. She hopes to add that much needed pause in peoples lives where they stop for a moment and enjoy the beauty of hand made objects.
