Hello

I create stoneware pottery which blends function, artistry, and sustainability. Agate ware pieces inspired by rock formations to playful, seasonal mugs, each piece is created for everyday use and lifelong enjoyment. My studio is committed to recycling, conserving water, and respecting the environment in every step of the production process.

My Story

I’m Monika Burrell, a ceramic artist with over 30 years of experience creating and teaching pottery. After earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts in ceramics from the Nova Scotia University of Art and Design, I’ve dedicated my career to exploring color, form, and texture through clay, while also working as a pottery instructor, technician, and show display designer. Inspired by the colours of nature, I find joy in hiking, outdoor swimming, and weaving those experiences into my work, creating pieces that are both functional and artful.
