Calendar of Events

The Showroom is OPEN! 

We are all set up … with hand sanitizer & masks, so come on out.  Shop is open daily at 11:00 — by chance or by appointment.  If you see a car in the drive and I’m not in the showroom, just honk your horn and give me time to dry my hands (probably in the studio making stuff!).  Or call 905-753-2731 and let me know you’re coming!

— To register for summer workshops please contact Susan at susan@potterystudio.ca.  A deposit of $50 is required to reserve your space, and you can drop it off or mail it to Susan McDonald, 229 Concession 6, Tara, Ont. N0H 2N0, or an etransfer would be fine!

Please note: Your fee is non-refundable if you cancel your spot any time within 14 days of the start of the class (unless someone else will take your spot).  There is a $5.00 charge if you cancel before that time, but the rest of your deposit will be refunded.  

For the week long workshops the format will be — Mon to Wed, we’ll work our little buns off, Thursday we’ll tour some of our local galleries (while our work is fired in the kiln) and Friday we’ll be glazing everything we’ve made and load up the kiln.  If you’re interested in either session, give me a call or send me an email.  These sessions will be limited to 6 participants, and if the weather is cooperative we will be working outside.  If we have to work indoors face masks may be required.  

If you happen to be in Southampton — visit the Art Gallery!  Some of my work is there on display, and it changes up all the time!
