Gail West moved to Canada from the UK in the year 2000 shortly after attaining her Diploma for Design Studio Ceramics.  Prior to taking this creative course, she spent many years working in the corporate world in what she describes as unfulfilling employment in many fields.  She took some creative courses at her local college and explored subjects like, floral art, cake decorating and gourmet cooking. Then she hit on clay and was completely hooked.
