Blythe Sheppard

Blythe Sheppard began working with clay as a kid at summer camp. Her interest in ceramic art continued through high school and while earning a BFA from Emily Carr University in 2012. In 2020, she built a home studio in Toronto and started b ceramics. Her current practice is focused on making practical vessels that can be used in everyday life or displayed as sculptural pieces. Blythe's hand built work prominently features texture from her finger prints and uneven, wilting edges. The choice to lean into imperfection and asymmetry, serves as a reminder that flaws, real or perceived, are what make life interesting.
