Based in Toronto, Arlene Kushnir has been working in clay, always porcelain, for over 30 years. Her work is both decorative and functional, thrown on a potter’s wheel or hand-built, then hand-painted or carved, then glazed and fired in an electric kiln. All tableware is food, micro-wave, and dishwasher safe. Arlene Kushnir holds degrees in the History of Art from York University, The University of Toronto, The Sorbonne in Paris, and a Diploma in Ceramics from George Brown College.
