Retail Design

Here are just a very few examples of the numerous retail projects I have taken on. Sometimes you are given art and need to resize and rework for various retailers and their product fixtures. Often also making image edits and text edits. Always in English and in French. 

​

Other retail clients include Calvin Klein men's underwear and Canadian icon, LeChateau.

Seasonal Card and Tags

Each holiday season, we try and come up with an idea that is not so "Christmas" focused. In this case, promoted the 200th anniversary of the end of The War of 1812. The Treaty of Ghent was signed Christmas Eve 1814. 

​

The red Militia Coatee was worn during the war by James Thompson (of Whirlpool Farm) and a direct relative. It is on display at the Niagara Falls Museum (as well as other Thomson/Thompson family artifacts). The jacket was conserved by The Canadian Conservation Institute in Ottawa and took over 430 hours.

Smoke Fired Pottery

I started studying pottery in Vancouver in the 90s. Something that came quite easy for me and very much something I enjoy. The world disappears as you concentrate on the wheel and the clay in front of you. Life gets busy! Trying to make a plan to get back behind the wheel. 

 

These 3 pots were first bisque fired and then smoke/pit fired. Maybe not traditional, but filled a large steel barrel with various types of combustibles... paper, cardboard, grass clipping and pieces of wood. Stared the fire and hoped for the best. A very volatile process and the pots can explode due to the sudden heat. All but one survived and very pleased with the results. 

 

What did I learn?

 

Never be afraid to try something new. It could be anything from new technology to a time-tested craft. You never know unless you try. And never turn down an opportunity to learn.
