Birch tree pottery

This is what came out of the kiln on Monday. We were really happy with the way the birch trees turned out and some of the new pieces we are working on. We did have two big pieces that cracked so they will just be for display. Life happens !!

Thanks for stopping by

Birch , bears , bakers, and birdhouse pottery

This is what came out of the kiln today.

We were excited to see some of the new glaze combinations. I think you will be seeing us doing some more pieces with the birch trees . We both liked how they turned out. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you are enjoying the fall weather.

Wildlife pottery and nature

Where has the summer gone ? I have been having issues uploading photos to the blogs , so I am just posting a few of our favorites that came out of the kiln the other day. I hope you are having a wonderful long weekend. Happy fall and thanks for stopping by.

I grew up in Saskatchewan, yet when I was young the wind caught hold of me and over time I found myself "moved to live near" each of the three oceans surrounding Canada. Saskatchewan will always be a part of me, because that is where my childhood began. As a child, I played with clay, dug deep from the garden. Now, from time-to-time I use various other mediums, but I always return to playing with clay.I love imaging about the pieces in my mind. Building the pieces seems to be far less challenging for me, than glazing them! Yet, when a piece goes through the creating, building and glazing process and comes out meeting my expectations, then I feel I have won.

Having grown up and worked in the Kootenays all my life, I found myself semi-retired last year and needing something fun and interesting to do. I have always wanted to try pottery, so our good friend Karen took on the challenge to teach my sister and myself. My husband, Richard, was kind enough to give up his workshop to build us a studio and he continually makes improvements for us. We have been having the best time ever since. Caroline and Karen hold down the fort while the Baja frog enjoys the winter in Mexico and Arizona, but she returns to work in the spring. Looking forward to new creations. Have a great day!
