I love baskets, jars, buildings and plants. I drink immense amounts of tea and make my living working in clay. Here you will find photos of my life as a potter, homesteader, and shopkeeper. Also, of inspiration, whimsy, and frivolity.

I want to do something absolutely different, or perhaps nothing at all: just stay where I am, in my home, and absorb each hour, each day, and be alone; and read and think; and walk about the garden in the night; and wait, wait…

Perhaps somewhere, someplace deep inside your being, you have undergone important changes while you were sad.

The assistant and I are working on trimming and handling all the jugs and mugs from yesterday. But really, she's just sleeping on the job... again.

I helped my mom plant some hydrangeas yesterday so I got to cut some of her beautiful peonies to bring home. They are stunning in this woodfired vase, which is for sale this weekend at the Potters Market in Guelph ON.

SALE weekend. Open today 11-7, tomorrow 11-6 and Sunday 12-5.

Handles pulled. They're stiffening up before they will be attached to the trimmed mugs I threw yesterday. Thanks to everyone who watched my video on #periscope 😊 I'll have it better figured out (so I can see the comments and reply!) for the next one. #pottersofperiscope #new #socialmedia #handles #demo #ceramics

Today is a mug throwing day, which means tomorrow is a handle day, and Saturday is a cleanup day. The clay is the boss - it has a specific cycle and needs to be dealt with when IT wants to! #ceramics #instagood #porcelain #woodfired #mug #house #sketch #blackandwhite #mishima #canadianceramics #ONceramics
