"Shan"

Shannon Butler is a ceramicist and mother of two living on Vancouver island.

At that time she continued doing her work by moving her studio into her garage and started sharing and selling on Instagram. Her work is inspired deeply by her northern bc farm background along with that of the Art Nouveau movement, the natural world and the nuances of life. She’s been part of dozens of shows in BC and Alberta most notably a solo show at the BC Gallery of Craft on Granville Island and has also had work published in Uppercase Magazine, the Uppercase series “Ceramics”books and The Georgia Straight newspaper.
