We are a small batch ceramic pottery based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. We love to create beautiful pieces of pottery for everyday use that will change how you live your life. In the busyness of life, it is important to slow down and savour the ordinary. When you hold one of our handmade pieces, you take the time to be present in the moment.
We have a rich family history in maritime coastal living. Our families have made their livelihoods on the ocean as fishermen and lighthouse keepers for generations. Our work celebrates the vibrant life of the hardworking people who live and work on the saltwater. We hope that as you use our pottery, you may be able to hear the faint sound of a foghorn and smell the salt air.
All our glazes are food safe, dishwasher and microwave safe. We specialize in mid-range porcelain fired to 2200°F in our electric kilns. All glazes are custom hand made on site. Each glaze has been specially formulated to match the clay body. Customized layered pieces can have between one to seven glazes. We layer our glazes using different applications, which have varying effects.
