Andrea D’Angelo Ceramics
Andrea’s ceramics are continually evolving, yet consistently rooted in memories of the Mediterranean—its charm, warmth, colours and textures. Each piece is created with the spirit of slow, simple living in mind. Glazes are crafted from scratch using raw materials —part chemistry, part curiosity. Every object is an experiment, embracing natural variations that make each piece feel personal and alive.
Andrea founded Kōbō to create accessible studio space for potters—offering a place to deepen their practice and experiment while also showcasing their work and creating opportunities for growth. After building two personal studios, she envisioned a shared environment where artists can refine their skills, exchange knowledge, and support one another as a community, plus — a hub for classes, collaborations with other creatives, and events.

Megan Voigt | Stay a While Ceramics
Megan Voigt is the Victoria-based artist behind Stay Awhile Ceramics. Her ceramics center on wabi-sabi - the ethos of the beauty inherent within the imperfections. The small half-circle marks at the bottom tell where the fingers held the piece as it's dipped in glaze. The drips and waves evoke the fluidity of the liquid glaze before it soaks into the stoneware. The play of creams against browns unique to its placement to other pieces in the kiln. The glaze embraces the subtle variations in each piece, like freckles across the bridge of a nose.
When you hold it in your hands, you can see clearly that it was made by another set of hands.

Sophia Thoreau
Sophia Thoreau is a ceramic artist based on Vancouver Island. Working with stoneware, she maintains a dialogue between the functional vessel and the sculptural form. Driven by a defiance of both self-imposed and external limitations, Sophia treats clay as a collaborator, testing the inherent resilience and patience of the medium.
Central to her practice is the pursuit of texture and the concept of erosion—the way natural forces interrupt, disturb, and reshape a surface over time. This fascination with the weathered finish parallels a personal exploration of identity, capturing the gradual shifts, hardening, and fluid nature of the self.
