Hello
Thank you for stopping by our page. Follow along as we journey into this world of pottery, learn and laugh along with us, as we throw, slab, and pinch our way through.
My Philosophy
To work with clay is in our genes. It’s ancient. It’s primal. It’s the very matter of the earth, the beginning and the end, the foundation of life as we know it. It’s growth and nourishment, territory and identify, safety and stability.
I strive to honour my practice by celebrating the materials, highlighting different textures and clay bodies, and keeping the design minimal. A lot of my work is simple, functional tablewear. This relationship between clay and food is another fascinating aspect.
As my practice has evolved, and my craft has improved, my focus has been all about pieces made for sharing, pieces made to bring people together. Pieces made for sharing food and spending time together. Pieces that bring your community together and feel like home.

"Her-story"
What started out as a few dance moms getting together for a night out has turned into a hobby of sorts, where between child-mom and fur-mom duties, we get together, enjoy a sip or two of wine, watch far too many TikToks and Reels, thinking ... I can do this! And here I am - I'm doing it!
Inspiration comes from my Nana ... She puttered for hours in her apartment studio. Taught me how to make a coil ashtray (yes yes a different time, different place), and eventually taught at a local college. I am thankful for the twelve years she came to live with us before she passed - and left us all a treasure trove of all of the lovelies she made - lanterns, cookie jars, vases, among some of her many creations. Hopefully I can do her memory justice.
Why the Dandelions?
You will see the theme of dandelions throughout a lot of our work.
This humble plant is often seen as a symbol of hope, healing, and resilience given their ability to thrive in challenging conditions.
Dandelions grow where nothing else grows. And pave the way for other plants to grow. But they are also a reminder that when your world is tough and feels like it is caving in ~ to just *breathe*. And make a wish!
