Debora Cane Art

Debora Cane, is an enthusiastic art tutor with 40 years’ experience of adult learning. Following a brief pottery apprenticeship with Chris Soule early in the 1980s Debora went to Medway College of Design to study ceramics. In those days if you wanted to collect visual information you had to do so by drawing and (because we were studying ceramics) no-one tried to put you off drawing in pen & ink. She has run a studio ever since leaving art college making a wide variety of objects: reduction fired stoneware and acrylic paintings from her studio in Warwickshire in the 1980s; large lustreware decorated bowls and stoneware domesticware in the 1990s from her studio in City Road in Cambridge; screen printing and embroidered textiles in the 2000s; and finally the move towards pen & ink and digital art. All of these activities have been underpinned by observational drawing and her use of sketchbooks.
