Yumiko Katsuya

Born in Japan, Yumiko Katsuya became a Canadian resident in 1971.  She started pottery in 1983 when she joined the Hill Potters Guild in Richmond Hill, Ontario. Many of her works continue to be on display in their permanent collection.  She is also a past member of the Toronto Potters from 2005 to 2015, and moved to Ottawa joining the Ottawa Guild of Potters in 2016.

Yumiko has several awards including the Juror’s Choice Awards at the Hill Potters Guild Show in Richmond Hill, People’s Choice Award at the Toronto Potters Show and the Karen Latorre Award at the Toronto Potters Biennial Exhibition at the Gardiner Museum, Toronto.

Recently Yumiko announced her retirement after 41 years in clay.  We thank her efforts and dedication to the ceramic community.  View her last collection online.
