She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Lethbridge, where she studied analytic philosophy and religious studies, and her diploma in Visual Art from Red Deer College. Dawn brings a thoughtful approach to her work, creating surfaces that capture movement and depth through layered decoration. Inspired by folklore, ritual and superstition, her pottery explores how we perceive and interpret the natural world through that storytelling lens. Through her teaching, Dawn shares how slip, underglaze, and resist techniques can transform surfaces from flat decoration into dimensional, tactile experiences.\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thinkific","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68159604981995,"sku":null,"price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/0298\/4092\/files\/20261019_203409.jpg?v=1792605781","url":"https:\/\/naomiclement.com\/products\/pottery-texture-techniques-with-dawn-candy","provider":"Naomi Clement Ceramics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
