Penelope's Pots

I'm Penni Stoddart, the potter behind Penelope's Pots, working from my studio in Wallacetown, Ontario. I've been making pottery for over 30 years, and I sell my work at markets and festivals across Southwestern Ontario. I make functional pottery that's meant to be used and loved every day, not left sitting on a shelf: mugs, bowls, tumblers, garlic graters, and more, each one thrown, glazed and fired by my own hands. What makes my work unique is the personality in it. Alongside my everyday pieces are the ones people remember: whimsical minis characters that come with their own adoption certificates, cauldron mugs, and mugs printed with sayings that make people laugh out loud at my table. No two pieces are ever exactly alike. When I'm not at the wheel, I teach. My mobile clay workshops bring the clay to schools, community groups and businesses, and my Pottery & Pints nights pair pottery-making with a pint at local breweries.
