Named after the feeling of savouring a morning tea with a favourite mug, Stay Awhile Ceramics is centred around creating functional yet intentional ceramics that become little moments of joy in your every day life. My pieces aim to share the idea that delight can be found in an ordinary mug, a ray of sunlight coming through the window, or the sound of rain on your roof.

My pottery journey began 9 years ago with a wheel throwing class in Vancouver when I was working in professional kitchens as a pastry cook. Working with my hands was a natural fit for me and I took to it right away. After a few stops and starts, I started to consistently work on my skills in Revelstoke, BC when I had access to their community pottery studio. After a move to the island and a couple years throwing pots in my moms basement, I found a shared studio in Victoria to work in and moved my janky purple-and-yellow wheel into the big bright space you see here. I’ve honed my style to what feels authentic and meaningful, which I’m now sharing with you. I hope you see what I see in them.
