- 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
- A few of the pieces at the Fresh Air Art Fair today! Check it out at Barracks Square in Fredericton until 8pm today!
- 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* #pottery #maritimepotter #handmade
- You can do it, crocuses! #IsItSpringYet
- 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 #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
- Tried to do some product photography. Ran into some issues. #pottery #catsofbluesky #blackcat #maritimepotters #ceramics
- The end product!
- Work in Progress. Debating whether the texture should be white or red… (it’s porcelain) #elbowsup #pottersofbluesky #maritimepotters #madeincanada
- Neriage is challenging because there are ALWAYS air bubbles which make the throwing challenging, but the results 😍 #pottery #ceramicarts #Maritimepotters
- 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.

- Ever have a day where you just can’t get anything to center? #pottery #pottersofbluesky
- Canada is watching, PM Starmer. Can’t say we’re impressed. #truenorthstrongandfree
- One of the latest batch of experiments. #pottery
- 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.
- Seeing lots of #potters joining as Bluesky gains some traction. Welcome!
