Ilana Fonariov is a self-taught potter living and working on Galiano Island, BC. A recipient of the Micki MacKenzie Bursary, she built on her self-taught knowledge by studying ceramics at the Selkirk School of Arts. There she learned how to work with natural materials like wood ash, granite and local clay.Her work balances structure and lightness, inspired by natural textures and autumnal tones. From her hands to yours, her wish is that the things she makes will serve you at the table, in company or on your own.Where to find her pots:Home studio on Galiano Island (use the contacr button below)
