Coral Patola

Maker & Founder of Piton Pottery

Creating modern heirlooms for a handmade lifestyle.Coral Patola is a working artist with a home studio north of Mount Currie, BC. With a BFA and Major in Illustration from Emily Carr University of Art + Design, their work is a blend of utilitarian and sculptural art. Creating with clay, textiles and mixed media, Patola tells stories of magical realism. Inspired by craft practices with rich histories, they aspire to evoke the senses. Exploring their mixed-identity and diasporic heritage, Patola works to create modern heirlooms that bring a sense of belonging. Guided by folk art and textile motifs, Patola’s sculptures bring a sense of homecoming inspired by fantasy and childhood nostalgia. Patola has attended various artist residencies in Canada and the USA and continues to volunteer with their local potters’ guild.
