Deborah's interest
in sculpture was kindled by her secondary
school art teacher, and later encouraged by several mentors
during her four years at the Vancouver School of Art. |
| After
graduating in 1973, she and a dozen other art students tried
their hand at carving jade in one of the first studios of this
kind in Vancouver. Some extraordinary pieces were produced at
New World Jade over the next two years. Since
the mid seventies, a number of these pioneers have established
their own studios and have honed their skills as jade sculptors.

The
work was shown with wide acclaim across Canada and the US. This
was indeed an art-form the public had never seen before.

In
1993, Deborah began offering her
(as advertised in The Lapidary Journal)
Since then, participants from Australia to Nebraska have enjoyed
their six days of jade immersion, and part with a good foundation
with which to embark on their own ventures.
Deborah's intensive workshops are designed
to cover all aspects of hardstone sculpture.
