I created this Fruit Bowl because avocados are freaking expensive. As fruit ripens, it releases a gas that will actually quicken the process (if you want to ripen an Avo overnight, put it in a paper bag -better yet with a ripe banana.) The cut outs allow airflow through the bowl, keeping your produce fresher, longer.

This item is made with recycled clay, and customized with a speckle added! The amount of speckles and colour of clay will vary per batch. As always, I recommend hand washing and drying, however -upon your own discretion- these items may be placed in the dishwasher with care.

Item may differ slightly from photo, if you'd like to choose yours please email!

Lovingly made by hand in Vancouver, BC.

Approximately 9.5" x 3.5"

Items are made and ready to be glazed, and are completed upon purchase. Items will ship in 5-15 business days unless otherwise specified beside the colour.

This Cover Pot is handcrafted from start to finish: thrown on my potter's wheel. Because they are all handmade there may be slight differences in the shape and size of each vase. Some have a blue drip on the outside, if you have a preference on the look please send us an email.

Either plant directly into this pot, or nestle your 4 inch plastic greenhouse pot into this cover pot. Once it grows out of it's container, it's easy to move and re-pot.

As for all handmade items, I recommend that they are hand washed and not used in the dishwasher. However- as there are no metallics and the item is fully glazed it is possible to put in the dishwasher & microwave at your own risk. 

Ships in 2-5 business days.

Taupe speckled (maybe?) cone 6 stoneware. For intermediate level throwers, a blend of all our clay bodies for a beautiful medium brown colour (hopefully.) Should look beautiful with John's Blue or Seafoam Chun.

Please be advised that we are no longer separating the white / brown recycled clays, and moving towards one body. It will be a surprise! This is recycled clay, and there may be foreign objects in the clay. We do our best to check the clay, but sometimes objects sneak through. By purchasing this clay you agree to wave Community Clay Inc. of any liability of injury or death.

Ceramic vessels may serve not only as functional objects but also as three-dimensional canvases for artwork and design.

In this workshop, participants will learn how to create custom stencils and overlays to decorate pottery using slip. These techniques allow potters to add layered patterns, imagery, and graphic elements to their ceramic surfaces.

We will explore how stencil design interacts with form, how slip behaves on clay and bisque surfaces, and how to build decorative compositions that enhance both the object and the artwork.

This workshop is designed as a development session, encouraging students to experiment with surface decoration while refining their approach to ceramic design.

Participants should bring their own greenware (leather hard to bone dry) or clean bisqueware to decorate.

If you do not have work prepared, a leather-hard slab will be available so participants may practise the techniques during the workshop.

Participants must be able to:
