Handmade pottery, aprons & wheel extensions
I make pottery by hand in small batches in Canada. Each piece is carefully crafted, from the first shaping of the clay to the final glaze. No two are quite the same, making each one a thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gift. My pottery is food safe, dishwasher safe and microwave safe, made to be used, loved and treasured for years.
I design split-leg pottery aprons, and my mother-in-law makes them by hand in small batches in Canada. Made for potters and painters, the adjustable unisex design covers your thighs while you sit at the wheel, with a handy pocket and towel loop. You can also find my aprons at Greenbarn Potter’s Supply.
You’ll also find Shimpo wheel extensions in my shop for a more comfortable setup at the pottery wheel. I take part in craft fairs around Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, too. Thank you for supporting my small Canadian handmade business.
A little about me
Hi, I'm Ivy.
I've been working with clay since 2011, and I love sharing that first moment of making something with your own hands. I make pottery and love helping beginners discover what they can create. My talented mother-in-law helps me make my Canadian-made pottery aprons, too.
