Every now and then, I go to Etsy and search “pottery” or “mugs” or something. It’s good to look at something neat, to try and figure out how something was made, and it helps to figure out what I do or don’t like about my own work. People who have consistently fascinated me the last few months:
Barbara Donovan
Kristen Swansen
Allie Ogg
Tracy McEvilly
Catherine Reece (Cockroaches in love! Awesome.)
Stepanka Horalkova
Aaaand just found out existed today: Abby Berkson.
… Looking back, Robot’s creation suddenly seems less spontaneous and more sort of …inevitable.

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.)
