Joan Tayler

Joan Tayler resides in British Columbia (Canada) and has been excitedly counting down to the Summit on her Instagram by posting new vessels almost every day.

Joan loves color and has been selling color cards and tutorials on her Etsy site for a long time. In addition to vessels, she’s known for making polymer whistles, jewelry, texture stamps, and offering highly detailed tutorials.

Joan’s latest is a new book, Building Color Confidence – A Practical Approach to Demystifying Color. Next up is a tutorial on making a button clasp. Plus, she’s currently scheduling classes for the fall.
