Chambers' studies have also taken her to the Sun Valley Centre for the Arts and Humanities in Sun Valley, Idaho, and the University of Guelph in Ontario. She has also published writings about contemporary craft and ceramics theory.
Chambers works in ceramic sculpture and ceramics-based installation. Her works explore the human body, medicine, architecture, and notions of the material and immaterial, among other subjects. Since the early 1980s, her work has been exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Canada and the United States and in Tokyo, Japan at the Itabashi Art Museum.
Chambers is a founding member of the Regina-based artists' collective Petri's Quadrille (1997-2006). She is a contributing editor of the anthology Utopic Impulses: Contemporary Ceramics Practice (2007).
