Just spent a lovely evening at Alexis Templeton’s studio, making small heart-shaped cookie plates (and coin plates and key plates and one ornament and a few gobs of clay and underglaze) with whoever dropped in. Mostly adults, plus a few kids. We built them from slabs, brushed on some red underglaze, and sgraffitoed away. A few people even got adventurous and tried stamps.
Tomorrow, jeweller Susan Stephen will be doing another drop-in workshop, and on Sunday, it’s paper hearts and cards.

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.)
