Co-Publisher / Digital Editor / Distribution

Carl is a relative "newcomer" to the arts having been a pilot in the military and now he works with the Canadian government. About 20 years ago, Carl and his wife Jeannette, started a pottery and jewellery making studio. Several years ago their business was too large for their home studio, so they opened a bead store with a metal clay online shop. Metal clay caught their attention in 2000, and they haven't looked back since! Now the family business is Metal Clay Artist Magazine, and Carl is in charge of the digital edition and print distribution.
