Kiefer Floreal is a Winnipeg-based ceramic artist, educator, national presenter, and grant recipient whose work explores the intersection of function, storytelling, and place. Originally from Kenora, Ontario, he began working with clay in high school and has built his practice through years of dedicated studio work and self-directed learning.

In 2026, Kiefer was selected as a presenter at Fusion, Canada’s largest and most prestigious clay and glass conference. He has also been featured on The Great CanadianPottery Throw Down and continues to establish himself as a respected voice in Canada’s contemporary ceramics community.

He will be at Clay Design this fall, teaching a hand-on Throwing Big workshop! This is a two-day workshop focused on pushing each participant’s clay work, with hands-on guidance and mentorship. You will learn systems and mindsets that will enable you to maximize each pull, minimize effort, and build confidence working at a larger scale.

This workshop will be a small group, and is suitable for participants with an intermediate+ skill set, though the work will be focussed on pushing your limits, so ‘big’ is what you make it!
