“Columbia Ceramicist involvement in the Columbia community allows for new experiences”
COLUMBIA, S.C. – “If I do the same thing more than once, I will die,” says Columbia ceramicist Diane Gilbert.
Gilbert, a Quebec native, must always be trying new things. Whether in be with her art or with her hot sauce business with her husband, change and new experiences play a large part of her life. Gilbert worked as a costume designer for stage performances prior to coming to the United States and starting her work full-time as a ceramicist. Now, she splits her time between creating art, selling hot sauce at local markets, teaching art classes, and growing hot peppers in Winnsboro, S.C. where she and her husband are having their new home built.
On this property, Gilbert will have her new studio built, which will likely be her last, according to her. There, she hopes she will complete her best work yet.
