Giving Back

A large part of why I do what I do is because it allows me to give back and doing so gives me as much satisfaction as creating my art does. Every month, a series of earring studs are released with each collection that are made from the bits of clay left over from making that collection. In addition to a portion of monthly profits, one-hundred percent of the sales from the studs are forwarded to that month’s chosen charity. It’s a win win situation! Charities benefit from the sales while my scrap clay pile is reduced. What's not to love about that?

Here's a list of the various causes I support throughout the year:

January BC SPCA
February Pink Shirt Day
March Girls Action Foundation
April BC Children's Hospital
May Centre for Addiction and Mental Health
June Egale

September Indian Residential School Survivors Society
October Canadian Cancer Society
November Polar Bear Fund
December Make a Wish Canada
