What a great day to learn Raku with an amazing artisan, Tim Isaac from New Brunswick. Made a few pieces with my partner for a date day. #pottery #ceramics #raku #makersgonnamake #madeinthemaritimes #madeincanada #handmade #madeinnovascotia #eastcoastartisan #canadianmade

What a good day at the market. Such a good distraction after the week I’ve had. #pottery #ceramics #madeinthemaritimes #madeinnovascotia #eastcoastartisan #handmade

Been busy here in the studio! #pottery #ceramics #madeinthemaritimes #eastcoastartisan

Somedays are like this! lol! Happy Monday everyone! #mugshotmonday #pottery #ceramics #madeinthemaritimes #eastcoastartisan #makersgonnamake #handmade #etsycanada

I had a visitor in the studio today painting his own mug. We even made a couple pinch pot bowls which he decorated. Kind of refreshing to see kids wanting to learn other things other than playing video games. #makersgonnamake #pottery #ceramics #novascotiahandmade #makerkids #eastcoastartisan

Beautiful flowers grown in our yard in my own handmade vase. Can’t wait to plan a much bigger cut flower garden next year to showcase more handmade vases. #pottery #ceramics #madeinthemaritimes #eastcoastartisan #handmade #etsycanada #madeincanada

These have been one of more popular mugs! Got a few of them made in the kiln now for some preorders. The making still continues. #ceramics #pottery #madeinthemaritomes #madeincanada #handmade #eastcoastartisan #lovewhatyoudo

My newest Northern Lights Mug using black clay agateware. Not as black as I would have liked but still beautiful nonetheless. What do you think? #pottery #ceramics #madeinthemaritimes #madeinnovascotia #eastcoastartisan #handmade #makersgonnamake

We now have lights in the new container shop! #pottery #ceramics #madeinthemaritimes #novascotia #eastcoastartisan #handmadeisbestmade #makeragonnamake

The view at night of my new retail container store. I need to put up the lights properly but it’s looking pretty good. #pottery #ceramics #madeinthemaritimes #container #retailcontainershop

The weather was pretty good today which helped dry my pottery to get ready for another bisque kiln. #pottery #ceramic #madeinnovascotia #madeinthemaritimes #eastcoastartisan

A customer of mine asked if I could make her this mug using my Raven design so why not. This has been a very popular posting in my Instagram so I might have to make more of them. #pottery #ceramics #madeinthemaritimes #madeinnovascotia #canadianpottery #canadianpotter #madeincanada

Sometimes you have bad days throwing on the wheel but you might be surprised on what you can create with those bad days mugs! #pottery #ceramics #madeinnovascotia #madeinthemaritimes #eastcoastartisan #novascotia #makersgonnamake #maker

Never too early for Christmas when you make Krampus Mugs! #pottery #ceramics #madeinthemaritimes #eastcoastartisan #krampus #christmas #holiday #mugshotmonday #mugs #handmade

Just one of those days where I had an issue throwing mug bodies. Decided to handbuilding this torso using my slab roller to get an even thickness of clay. Embellished it with some texture and images will come later. #pottery #ceramics #handbuiltpottery #madeinthemaritimes #handmade #gayart #gay

Been working on more rabbit mugs for Christmas Stock. Hard to believe I’m working on it now and Summer is not over yet. #pottery #ceramics #madeinthemaritimes #eastcoastartisan #handmade #makersgonnamake #rabbit #underglazetransfers #screenprint

Rooftop patio now finished and can’t wait to lounge up there with friends and family! #novascotia #malagashnovascotia #beachfront #vineyard #homestead

Goose mugs are in da house! What do you think? Should I make more? #pottery #ceramics #madeinthemaritimes #eastcoastartisan #handmadeisbestmade #makersgonnamake #novascotia

Some new spoonrests that just came out of the kiln waiting to be glazed up. #pottery #ceramics #madeinthemaritimes #novascotia #eastcoastartisan

So many requests for flowers so let’s start with Poppies. First batch in kiln and then will handpaint the poppies. Yeah, I get bored doing the same thing so I made a new silkscreen. #novascotiapottery #pottery #ceramics #madeinthemaritimes #eastcoastartisan #maker #poppies #flowers #nature

Butterflies galore on the property so why not make butterfly mugs. #pottery #ceramics #novascotiapotter #eastcoastartisan #madeinthemaritimes #butterflies #summerishere #handmadeisbestmade

Getting excited here about our new shop that will open on our property. Co tractor was here to finish the walls, ceiling and outdoor entrance. Welder coming in to finish railing end of week and electrician the following week. Working on the colour of the door and interior layout now. #pottery

Working on some new underglaze decals. #pottery #ceramics #eastcoastartisan #madeinnovascotia #supportsmallbusiness #madeinthemaritimes

Love the way this mug turned out. #pottery #ceramics #madeinthemaritimes #eastcoastartisan #makersgonnamake #wheelthrownpottery #pottymouth #northshorenovascotia #eastcoast

The new chicken mugs are going to look amazing. What do you think? #pottery #ceramics #madeinthemaritimes #novascotiapottery #chicken #handmadeisbestmade #makersgonnamake #eastcoastartisan

Each of these mugs are handpainted and glaze is manually applied. This doesn’t even include throwing the mugs and adding handles. Loads of work goes into each mug. #pottery #ceramics #madeinthemaritimes #eastcoastartisans #madeincanada #canadianmade #madeincanada #canadianartisan

It’s a bike kind of day today here in Nova Scotia #novascotia #eastcoastvibes #eastcoastartisan #pottery #ceramics #potterywheel #supportsmallbusiness #lovewhatyoudo

Some flowers from my garden that are blooming. Loving all the Summer colour all around the property. #novascotiafardening #garden #eastcoastgardener #perrenials #flowers #naturephotopgraphy

Slowly but surely the Container Shop is coming together. The welder was here yesterday to install the composite deck before the railings get installed. It’s going to be epic just to relax on those hot Summer Days. #pottery #ceramics #containershop #roomwithaview #novascotia #madeinthemaritimes

I don’t normally take special customer requests like this but when my customer told me her story, I almost peed my panties. Hope she likes it! #

It’s Strawberry Season here so the mugs must also come out! #madeinnovascotia #eastcoastartisan #madeinthemaritimes #madeincanada #canadianmade #supportsmallbusiness

It’s a sweary mug kind of day here. These and many more going out to my newest retailer! #novascotia #madeinthemaritimes #eastcoastartisan #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocal #antigonishbc #pictou #newglasgow

It’s a bee mug kinda day here. I don’t handpaint very often so it was fun to do this mug! #pottery #ceramics #novascotiapottery #madeinthemaritimes #eastcoastartisan

Summer Studio Vibes! Looking forward to spending more time at the beach. #novascotia #pottery #ceramics #madeinthemaritimes #eastcoastartisan #eastcoast #studiovibes #summerishere #makersgonnamake #canadianmade #madeincanada #supportcanadiansmallbusiness #supportlocal

I’ve been playing catch up with orders and this is the second bisque kiln since being back from Vancouver in less than a week. Lots of glazing to be done! #pottery #ceramic #novascotiapotter #madeinthemaritimes #eastcoastartisan #madeincanada #canadianmade #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocal #maker

It’s been so busy here in the studio the last 2 days. Amazing how far behind you can get when not working for two weeks. Still so many mugs to make to complete orders. #pottery #ceramics #madinthemaritimes #novascotiapottery #eastcoastartisan

I’m now back in Nova Scotia from my family emergency in Vancouver. I was going a bit stir crazy not being able to create and was able to throw 30 mugs today to start and complete some orders. The weather here has been hot so was able to get some gardening in as well. No rest for the wicked. #pottery

My partner sent this today while I’m in Vancouver. Momma and baby bears. #bear #cubs #novascotia #malagash #countryliving #onlyinthemaritimes #maritimes

Summer is here so it means biking season. Loving the new design and will be at a couple of retailers and markets soon. #novascotia #madeinthemaritimes #handmadeincanada #canadianmade #eastcoastartisan #eastcoasthandmade #pottery #ceramics #mugshotmonday #hamdmadepottery

So much colour inspiration at the local garden centre for glazing some pottery. Now where do I start? #pottery #ceramics #madeinnovascotia #madeinthemaritimes #garden #flowers #dahlia #nature #natureinspiration #naturalworld

The new chickens are settling in quite well. Hopefully they will start laying soon but in the meantime will just enjoy them. #chicken #layinghens #farm #homestead #novascotia #maritimefarmer #chick #madeinthemaritimes

Spread the love and acceptance #pridemonth

Happy Pride Month everyone! #pride #gay #gaypride

Sometimes I just add different glazes to see what would happen. This one is just crazy but I’m loving it! #pottery #ceramics #mugshotmonday #madeinthemaritimes #nocascotia #handmade #makersgonnamake #madeincanada

The build on my container shop has finally started. All done up and waiting for the electrician to come in before all the walls and ceiling goes up. Welder will be here in two weeks to put on the new stairs and railings so I can enjoy the view when I’m not working. Excited! #novascotia #container

It was a nice warm day here in Nova Scotia so why not glaze some pottery for this weekends market. #pottery #ceramics #novascotia #madeinthemaritimes #eastcoastartisan #madeincanada #canadianmade #mugshotmonday

I had some left over Buff Clay so why not just add some white. Loving the Marbled effect and these will be for my mushroom mugs. I think they will work great together. #pottery #ceramics #madeinthemaritimes #novascotia #madeincanada #canadianmade #supportsmallbusiness #eastcoastartisan #maker

So many customers asked for Bike Mugs. Well here they are. Father’s Day is coming up so can’t wait to show you the other mugs. #pottery #ceramics #mugshotmonday #bicycle #bike #madeinthemaritimes #eastcoastartisan #madeincanada #canadianmade #makersgonnamake #handmade #novascotia #newbrunswick #pei

Been a busy day putting on handles and decorating mugs for their first firing. Even had time to make some underglaze decals. #pottery #ceramics #canadian #madeincanada #makersgonnamake #underglazetransfers #madeinthemaritimes #eastcoastartisan #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocalbusiness #artisan
