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’m loving this floating blue glaze that breaks green *chef’s kiss*

Follow me on Instagram! I’ve started an account for my pottery www.instagram.com/maritimecera... and every follow/like/share helps my work reach new audiences! Photo of one of my bowls that’s already found it’s forever home for algorithm tax ;)

The vase in the middle was made by Andrew McCullough of Nu Ceramics. I bought it many years ago, when I didn’t really have the money to spend on pretty things with no use, but I could not resist the turquoise! Fast forward and I’m now making my own turquoise vases at his new pottery studio.

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 😍

Work in Progress. Debating whether the texture should be white or red… (it’s porcelain)

Anyone else noticed that suddenly everyone’s smoking in the programs made by streaming services? I’ve seen more people smoke on tv in the last week than I’ve seen in person in the last 20 years. 🤢
As penance for my internet complaint I offer a photo of my cat, who does not smoke.
