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

This was a fun picture to get. These pieces have made it all the way to the Netherlands! It’s always so nice to see my pots in action and to find out where they’ve found a home. #racheldecondeceramics #ceramics #canadianceramics #thenetherlands #pottery #vase #porcelain #home #homedecor #madeinnovascotia
Did you know that on my new floral line, all the bottoms are coloured? You can find them in yellow, turquoise, chartreuse and lilac. In fact, this new line is so popular I’m already back in the studio making and finishing more. #racheldecondeceramics #porcelain #pottery #slipcast #vases #lookunderneath #ceramics #amacovelvets #colorpop #morecomingsoon #canadianceramics
Taking what’s left of my bees after the bear attacks last week and hoping a new queen will get them going again. Sadly, the queens were killed during the attacks. #novascotiabeekeepers #bear #honeybee #novascotia #queenbee #countrylife
Some days just start off poorly. Though in this case, it’s worse for my poor bees 😢. Bad bear, bad 🐻 #beekeeping #bear #honeybee #countrylife #novascotia #novascotiabeekeepers #blackbear
They were calling for a heavy frost last night and while I thought to cover the annuals on my deck, I didn’t think to cover things like my strawberry, blueberry and peonies. I was a little heartbroken to see them today and I sure hope that I didn’t just lose a bunch of stuff. It was cold enough to freeze a layer of ice on my dogs water dish 😮. #brrr #latefrost #countrylife #novascotia #fruitplant #wheredidspringgo #poorplant
Clumsy + gravity = smasho smasho 😢 #racheldecondeceramics #studiolife #brokenpottery #gravity #damn #pottery #slipcast #decorating
This little spider dude has been my travelling companion for the last 4 weeks. Everyday, there’s my little spider holding on as I drive to Halifax, to my studio, to the store. And when the wind gets too rough, little dude pops into my side mirror to wait it out. What a cutie. #spider #spiderweb #travellingcompanion #commuting #novascotia #studiolife #carcompanion
I’ve been so busy in my studio lately making work for shows, shops and galleries, I haven’t had much of a chance to enjoy spring. So, a little outside time today ☺️. I hope you too get a little snippet of time to enjoy this beautiful day. #studiobreak #studiolife #novascotia #appleblossoms #springishere #enjoylife #enjoythelittlethings
