    Made in Wawa

    I am located in Wawa, Ontario and enjoy making hand-made functional pottery. I create a variety of hand-built functional pottery in my independent workshop.

    Our Connection To Lake Superior

    Since we are located on the north shore of Lake Superior, the Lake is a predominant theme on much of my pottery.

    Our Team

    My 80 year old father is my assistant and enjoys helping out where he can.

    The Green Cabin

    The orgin story of the Green Cabin is a great one. I grew up passing by it constantly as my family had a fishing/hunting lodge next to it and I'd often take photos in the area. It's the perfect location to get creative in, overlooking Whitefish Lake. The older I got I decided that this camp deserved a spot on the vision board. I'd always imagined that someday I'd retire and this little green cabin would make a great pottery studio.

    Eventually the dream came true. Over the years I learned from my parents who had owned the cabin and when I was in the position to purchase the cabin, they wanted to sell - poof!

    While I did retire and make pottery, the green cabin is actually not my current place of creating, but that's a whole other story.

The Workshop

Now, the workshop you ask? My grandparents built their home in the 70's and included a woodworking shop, as my grandpa was a local high school science teacher who woodworked on the side (do you see where I'm going with this?).

My parents took over the home and when I retired from teaching, they graciously allowed me to use the former woodworking shop as a space for pottery and it evolved from there.

Now the space is happily filled with another teacher and their hobby - and of course, my dad, my #1 assistant. 🙂
