JL Pottery Ottawa

Julie finds endless joy in creating small ceramic figurines, bringing them to life with vibrant colors and playful designs. Each piece reflects a love for storytelling through clay, blending whimsy with a sense of warmth and charm. Whether it’s a miniature vase or a ghost figurine these creations are meant to spark joy and curiosity. Their pottery journey began in 2020 with city-run lessons, which ignited a deep appreciation for the craft. When rising studio costs made it difficult to continue, they took a leap and set up a small home studio. With a compact kiln, they embraced the challenge of making small-scale pieces, leading to the creation of their signature pottery ghost. Incorporating modern technology into their process, they use a 3D printer to design and refine elements before bringing them to life in clay. This fusion of digital tools and handmade craftsmanship allows for innovation while maintaining the charm of traditional ceramics. Each figurine is unique, infused with personality and a little bit of magic.
