Potters, what do you do with your “thirds” - the pots you can’t even sell as seconds? I hate breaking them up so I try to repurpose…. Unless they’re they’re truly hideous. This one has a massively cracked handle and is twice as heavy as any gravy boat should be 🤣 #pottery

Still need a gift for Mom? These sweet little bud vases are at the Capital Art Sale in Fredericton this weekend (May 8 - 11) along with 34 of their closest friends ;) If you’re more into wall art, there’s an incredible selection by lots of talented local artists too!

As us Canadians anxiously watch election results come in, here’s a pretty pot in soothing tones of purple for you to look at. She’s all wrapped up for the Capital Art Sale here in Fredericton May 8-11.

I’d love to hear about your favorite things from independent crafters and artists. Stuff your friends and family made you absolutely qualifies. Just something you use that a real person made that makes you happy.
Or a pic of your pet. That’s cool too.

The #elbowsup mugs are now available at Nu Ceramics in #Fredericton! $5 from each goes to my local library, because a well-informed population with strong critical thinking skills is our best defense against authoritarianism. #pottery

Neriage is challenging because there are ALWAYS air bubbles which make the throwing challenging, but the results 😍

As we enter an election cycle here in Canada, please: get your news from journalists, not influencers, and from more than one source, because not everyone reports, or prioritizes, the same things. A well-informed population is essential for democracy to work.

Canada is watching, PM Starmer. Can’t say we’re impressed. #truenorthstrongandfree
At a joint press conference with President Donald Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Trump interrupted as Starmer replied to a question about Canada from a journalist.
