Raised amid the textures and forms of the Alberta landscape, Ruby Serben found her creative calling in 2000 when she discovered clay—and Shino glazes in particular. Inspired by nature, she studied with master potters nationally and internationally, exploring the balance between Western precision and a looser Japanese style.
Her award-winning work has been exhibited in juried shows throughout Canada and is held in private collections worldwide. Ruby is an active member of several arts organizations, including the Alberta Craft Council, Alberta Potters Association, Friends of MISSA (Metchosin International Summer School of the Arts, B.C.), Edmonton Art Council, Harcourt House, Arts On The Avenue, Visual Arts Association of Alberta, Potter’s Council (The American Ceramic Society, U.S.), Edmonton Potters Guild (2002 – 2004), St. Albert Potters Guild (2004 – 2006).
