Sam Uhlick, Ardrossan
Sam studied at the Banff Center, Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, and apprenticed with world renowned potter Michael Cardrew at Wenford Bridge Pottery in Cornwall England. He has also made several study tours to Japan, Korea, and China. He has been a functional potter for over 35 years and creates his popular line of functional pottery alongside his wife and fellow potter Antonia Huysman in their home and studio. In addition to making pottery Sam gathers and refines the local clays he uses in his work and has built most of the equipment that he uses in his studio. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, and is in many private, corporate, and public collections.

“If all ceramics were divided into two groups there would be those objects that are dusted and those pots that are washed. Almost all of mine would end up in the kitchen sink”.
