Coral Patola is a POC artist working in ceramics. Living on the unceded territory of the Líl̓wat Nation, known as Pemberton BC. Graduating in 2016 from Emily Carr University with a BFA and Major in Illustration, Patola focused her work by combining illustration and clay. Following their studies, Patola went on to develop a home-studio and start their small business, Piton Pottery. Patola is also the 2023 recipient of the Micki Mackenzie Craft Bursary from the Craft Council of BC.
As a ceramics artist, I primarily focus on creating functional pottery on the potter's wheel, particularly kitchenware and tableware, with a thematic emphasis on infusing everyday objects with mindfulness and attention to inspire appreciation for the interconnectedness of life.
We respectfully acknowledge that the Filberg Festival takes place on the unceded traditional territory of the K'omoks First Nation, Gila 'kasla...Hay ch q'a'.
