April 10th

At Madlab we love to showcase our member’s talents whether it be inside the gym or their wide array of skills and talent outside of it!

 With that, I want to introduce you to my newest member Claire Madill, you may have seen her other half Tall Bald James around classes. James been here for the last year and him and I finally convinced Claire to get her butt in here! And man am I glad we did, not only was she a pleasure to train, she’s one badass chick. Good work James!!!

Outside of the gym, Claire is a designer and creator. She owns her own design company and creates her own unique products such as jewelry and home décor.

 “I love seeing the possibility of the new from vintage or found objects — with plaster and porcelain, anything is possible. It’s all in the details: letting the depth and shadows of a design share the main stage next to little touches of shiny clear glaze and maybe some metallic lustre. Subtle contrasts and little surprises make me smile!

Whether it’s fancifying yourself or your personal space, I want the everyday things I make to be your favourite. 

I graduated from Emily Carr University of Art & Design in 2007 and have been elbows deep in plaster, porcelain and entrepreneurship with heyday design ever since. I live on top of a hill and can see my studio in the distance! ( And, conveniently, I pass by MadLab twice a day!)  My studio is such a nice place to go to work everyday: lots of creative entrepreneurs about and the music is played loud!”

 And if you have a few minutes, have a look at the video of her technique, it’s pretty crazy the amount of steps and days it can take to create some of her pieces.
