About The Artist

Arlene Kushnir

Arlene Kushnir started her ceramic practice after completing her post graduate degree in the History of Art.  Enrolling herself full time in a ceramics program, as an edition attended evening classes to grow her skills.  Initially, she shared her studio with Gloria Richmond and upon her passing set up her own studio in the basement of her home. Arlene specializes in porcelain pottery and looks to the history of ceramic making.  She forms vessels on a wheel and plays with surface technique through carvings, glazes, and patterns.  She reflects the world we live in and our dependency on each other for needs and survival.  It is through our interconnections and cooperation that plays a crucial part in our lives. She has been based in Toronto for over 30 years and continues her practice at her home.
