Between the marathon crocheting at the Folk Fest, the lifting at the beach fire, the berry-picking last Sunday, and helping to install a concrete cod (with steel and glass aquarium) at the gallery, my wrists and shoulders are pretty unhappy with me. I haven’t been doing a whole lot at the studio, which is why I haven’t been posting much.
I probably won’t get back into the swing of things for another few days (or however long it takes for the soreness to calm down). Don’t want to risk a long-term injury–that sort of thing ends a lot of craftspeople’s careers.

My name is Maaike Charron, and I'm a potter in St. John's, Newfoundland. I started fiddling around with pottery in summer 2006, when I was told volunteering in the local clay studio would get me free studio time. I mostly taught myself, spending a lot of time poring over books, magazines and websites, and occasionally pestering the more advanced (but very helpful) potters around me with questions. After about two years, I decided I'd gotten good enough to go into business for myself. This blog, started after my first big craft fair, was created to document the process of becoming a wondrously succesful craftsperson. (Or it will document How Not To Do It. We'll see.)
