Born in Ontario in 1877, Edith Gertrude VanDermade was a ceramic artist specialising in hand-painted china and is recognized as Regina’s premiere china painter and ceramist. A talented artist, Edith VanDermade was a graduate of Alma Ladies College in St. Thomas, Ontario. She was an inspiration through her involvement in the artistic community, speaking to groups, teaching, and exhibiting her works.

She opened a studio in 1924 where she sold her painted teacups. She held classes and exhibitions of her work every year. In the summer, she taught at a Regina Beach resort and co-owned a business with Mrs. G. P. Plaxton called Kosy Korner from 1936 to 1946. She also operated a tea room in the Plaxton’s building called The Ark. From 1936-1946. VanDermade sold her teacups and porcelain paintings at both businesses and taught china painting at the resort in the summers. A number of people recalled her wonderful teacups and saucers as souvenirs of their time at the resort and also mentioned her parrot Polly who hung out at the cafe.  Edith VanDermade passed away in 1961.
