Lillian is essentially a self-taught potter, but has attended numerous workshops and conferences lead by outstanding Canadian, American and International ceramic artists.

Today, she works exclusively in porcelain clay. Her focus is on making delicate carved or pierced pieces. She attempts to make pieces that appear light, with soft coloured glazes. For a change of pace, she also loves the challenge of firing pieces in a Raku kiln, producing dramatic pieces.

Her involvement with clay has given her the opportunity to serve as President of the Board of Directors at the Burlington Art Centre for a period of two years. She was also on the Executive of the Burlington Potters Guild. Currently, she is Board Chair of FUSION: The Ontario Clay and Glass Association based in Toronto, while also serving with the Kawartha Potters Guild in Peterborough in the role of Chair of Programs and Chair of Sale/Exhibitions.
