About

Expressive hand-built clay sculptures

Shirley first studied sculpting with clay at the University of Regina under Joe Fafard, then later, with Ann Roberts at the University of Waterloo. As a graphic design professional, clay work offered a captivating alternative for her creativity.

Shirley brings an impeccable eye to her clay sculptures; at times sophisticated and at other times whimsical, every sculpted piece reflects her imagination and sense of humour. Even with years of practice and technique, the uncertainties and mysteries of sculpture present absorbing creative paths. Highly collectible, there is something familiar in every piece that draws the attention of art lovers and collectors.

Elora Fergus Studio Tour

EVER WONDER WHAT AN ARTIST’S STUDIO REALLY LOOKS LIKE?

Here’s your chance to get a look behind the scenes. Take a self-guided tour and meet artists where they live and work. Many artists and craftspeople will open their studios for two consecutive fall weekends.

The Studio Tour is completely free of charge. You’ll get a chance to meet directly with the artists, and often see work not shown in gallery settings. You’ll visit the working spaces of both established and emerging artists, from basements to self contained studios
