Lael is a potter, ceramic artist and quilter who explores ideas of ceremony, rituals and womanhood through functional craft mediums. Lael was raised in Dawson Creek in Northern British Columbia, and now lives in Calgary, Alberta. She began making from an early age, joining a long line of obsessive craftsmen. She has been working in clay for fourteen years and has recently earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ceramics from The Alberta University of Arts in 2020. Lael has exhibited her work in shows across Canada and the United States and has work in various collections across North America. Recently, she spent two months as a Flex Resident at the Medalta International Artists Residency developing her body of atmospheric fired work. She now teaches wheel throwing and ceramics at local community studios, while maintaining a practice of her own. Using the lens of craft, her work is a catalyst to larger conversations of how we seek comfort in rituals and how we navigate our lives as modern women.
