Executive Profiles
President – Nadine Lapointe
nadineNadine is by trade a landscaper/gardener. She has enjoyed designing and creating yards and landscapes for a variety of people. “I loved being able to use that creativity in my work,” she says. She was an ornamental plasterer before that, designing and creating many different things. Clay is another venue for her.  “I always wanted to try clay since I was a kid. Finally, I took a couple of classes and found a new passion. I have been involved with the guild for about 9 years now. It was a place to come and be creative, be with friends, and have a great time. I am pleased to be president and I hope I am able to deliver what is expected of me. Thank you everyone for all your support.”

Secretary – Melanie Rubin

Melanie found her love for pottery while living on the East Coast, and was excited to have a local outlet after moving to Stony Plain. She equally enjoys making whimsical items like donuts, rabbits and octopi; decorative items such as air plant holders and soy candles; and the more practical platters and mugs. Melanie has been a member since 2018, and the Guild Class Co-ordinator from 2019 to 2023.

Treasurer – Marleen Androschuk

Marleen came upon the Crooked Pot Gallery / Parkland Potters’ Guild by accident while touring Stony Plain murals with a friend.  The moment she walked in the store she fell in love with all the pottery!  There was an ad for fall classes given by the Parkland Potters’ Guild in the store and she signed up immediately.  Marleen continued taking classes and then was offered to become a member in 2007, which she accepted without hesitation.  What Marleen loves the most about the guild and the art form, is the people, the sharing of the art, the encouragement from others and the never-ending ways that clay can be transformed.
