Sandra Ramos was born in Seoul, South Korea, and moved to Canada at a young age. After receiving her BA in Fine Arts from Concordia University she worked and travelled extensively in Japan and in other parts of Asia. She has been working with clay since 1998, as well as participating in and organising many ceramic workshops and ceramic symposiums in British Columbia. Sandra’s primary interest is in creating functional, one-of-a-kind work. In the process of creating her pottery she throws and alters the shapes of her work. She works with the richness of textures and movement of each of her creations. Her work is salt/wood-fired in her kiln in Madeira Park, British Columbia. She enjoys this type of firing because of the challenge it presents and the element of surprise it creates. She has exhibited her work at the Crafthouse Gallery, Gallery of BC Ceramics, Deer Lake Gallery, Metchosin Community Hall, Medicine Hat Public Library, Sunshine Coast Arts Centre, and the Cityscape Community Art Space.
