Sarah Pike is a full time potter living and making pots in Fernie, British Columbia, Canada. She makes functional slab-built pottery in her home studio on a an acre of land on the edge of a little ski town. She majored in ceramics at the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. She then studied at Colorado University in Boulder, and went on to do graduate studies at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. Along the way, she started a family, lived in a barn, and helped run her husband's family ranch. Currently, Sarah lives in a renovated old mining house with her husband, two kids, and a dog named Lily. Sarah Pike's pottery is inspired by many things, including the landscape around her home, the rich history of ceramics, but also by antique tinware, textured metal, and old things you might find in barns.
