Mini mug for your cappuccino☕
We just moved, so it's been fun finding new places around the house to take photos of my pots🏡📷 New locations, new light, new feel.

Mama mug. It's not mother's day, but it's always a good time to get a gift for a mom in your life, right? ❤️💜💛🩷
Herb labels for the gardener in your life🌿
I wasn't sure how this clay/glaze combo would work out when I did it, but I ended up really loving it. Too bad I don't use this clay anymore, and this glaze is at a studio I can't regularly go to🤣😭
I took this ranunculus out of the main bouquet because the stem broke, but it's the perfect thing for this wee vase.
A wonderful day exploring Shigaraki with Seita San.
Getting warm and toasty vibes from this mug☕
Swipe to see what it looked like before it went in the kiln for the glaze firing👀
Snagged some downed branches the other day and patiently waited for them to bloom.
When I'm at home I like a smaller mug so I can keep refilling with hot coffee from the pot. This mini mug is perfect for that.
I can't get over these contrasting colours😍
Happy March 1st🌷 This mug is part of a set of four that I made. It's taken me a loooong time to finish these, but I'm happy with how they turned out!
I haven't been potting a lot recently, but I'm starting up a membership .ca again today, so I'm hoping to create some fun things. Also playing with the idea of doing a story sale soon!
This year I became an auntie to my ADORABLE niece (sadly, not pictured here, so you'll have to take my word for it) and I made these mugs for my brother and his partner. I think they're pretty cute.
Happy Monday! What colour/style of mugs do you want to see? Clean, crisp white? Flowers designs? Fall colours? Giant mugs? Interesting handles? Let me know!
I'm a bit obsessed with stone fruits🍑
This mug is getting packed up for it's journey to Toronto🛫
I layered three different glazes to make this peachy vase. Can't wait for my spring flowers to bloom so I can fill all my vases with flowers!
Another mug out of the kiln. I'll be making a lot more of these soon for a special order I've got cooking up. Stay tuned!
My first two slab mugs!
Another little trinket dish for your jewelry.
Happy first day of spring!
I layered a couple of new glazes on this little vase. Usually you want to test how two glazes interact (by firing a test tile), but I'm impatient so I decided to just go for it with this piece.
Here's a pink mug to brighten your Monday!

I'm definitely much more into throwing things on the wheel, but I really enjoy hand building when I'm sitting on my couch watching tv. Feels like I'm relaxing while being productive and creative at the same time🤷🏼♀️
