About

Derek Kasper was first introduced to ceramics and art via a romance with a potter at the University of Regina back in the early 1970’s. His passion for making things soon branched out into artistic woodworking and then into building, which turned into a career. On returning to Victoria in 1989 his long dormant passion for ceramic art finally had an outlet, the Arts Centre at Cedar Hill. Many fine teachers and many passionate students fanned his love for working with clay.

Workshops at Metchosin International Summer School of the Arts and through the South Vancouver Island Potters Guild have honed his skills and deepened his knowledge of the technical aspects of creating large ceramic work. His skill in fine woodworking is integral to the creation of armatures and support structures critical to his main body of current work, which can be described as ‘hand-built and textured faceted forms’.

I am happy to be represented by the Avenue Gallery. They have effectively promoted some of my best work for several years now. It is worth taking a look at their gallery of diverse, quality art.
