Working out of my studio in Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia, I explore ideas in clay through a wide range of objects and methods.

Keep up with me on Instagram and Facebook to see what I'm working on.

 

Trying out some different backgrounds. Photographing work is a full time job in itself and I’m usually so caught up in the making, that I don’t have time to photograph what I make. I’m working on a new photo setup and I’m hoping that it’ll streamline the process. What are your tips and tricks? How do you work documenting into your studio practice? #racheldecondeceramics #vase #honeycomb #ceramicartists #uniquepattern #slipcast #vinylcutting #productphotography
Found this little hen trying to be a duck tonight. Poor girl was all cold and wet, so I brought her inside to dry her off and warm her up. Later I’ll put her back up with her flock. Think she got trying to be a duck out of her system? #racheldecondeceramics #orpington #henhouse #getwarm #countryliving #smallfarm
I don’t often get back to Montreal, but when I do, a stop at my favourite patisserie is always a requirement. My earliest memories of eating cake from the Swiss Vienna go back to when I was 3 or 4 at my grandparents wedding anniversary. It was a hazelnut cake. Good things to remember ☺️. If you ever get a chance and find yourself on the west island, pop in and treat yourself. #racheldecondeceramics #quebec #montreal #pastry #tiramisu #greatfood #pointeclaire
I can’t wait to see this show! Congratulations @kclairemac #maryeblackgallery #novascotiaartist #canadianartists
I recently got some more photography equipment (more lights, reflective surface) and this is the result. I’m looking for some feedback. What do you think? Do you like the results? #racheldecondeceramics #ceramicartists #contemporaryceramics #documenting
Do you like cheese as much as I do?! Okay, I do love cheese, but some of this is for other people 😏. Have you tried raclette? If you haven’t, give it a go! #racheldecondeceramics #cheese #raclette #atwatermarket #sogood #ilovecheese
Brought in some of my ceramics by @galloway_pottery @dougpeltzman and @ursulahargensceramics to share with my intermediate throwing class @nscaduniversity today. I hope my students enjoy them as much as I do ♥️. #contemporaryceramics #handmade #ceramicartists #learning #inspiration
Winter wonderland ❄️. I feel so lucky living where I do. Sadly though, rain is forecast and we’ll be losing all this beautiful snow 😢 #racheldecondeceramics #winter #winterwonderland #snow #freshsnow #studiolife #countrylife #makerslife #ceramics #ceramique #pottery #potteries
