Gayle Kabloona

Recently I noticed myself getting drawn into imperfections in the work I’d normally be happy with. I was stressing myself out when my belief has always been to see the beauty of the whole, finding perfection in the imperfections.

I made a couple pinch pots, formed by moving a blob of clay until it’s roughly shaped. They look how they should, handmade. This was exactly the refresher I needed to get back to production mode on my other mugs... and to remember that the importance of my objects comes from their unique nature.

I thought I’d share because learning about myself and how I work might be the most important lessons for me since becoming a full time artist.

Thanks for coming along for the ride 😘

Nature makes me 👌🏽

Some free hand hands from a while ago 💕✨

Little tulip cuties are joining my mini-print collection, just in time for Mother’s Day!

I named this print “Aatuvaa” which is Ottawa in Inuktitut. Ottawa is home to the highest number of Inuit outside of Inuit Nunangat, the Inuit homeland.

This year has been hard not going back to the north and not seeing family, but I wanted to celebrate those like me who have decided to make Ottawa their home.

Mini-prints ship free as letter mail! 😘🌹

This mug was supposed to be beautiful but it is not. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk 🤓

For reals tho I didn’t put enough glaze on the outside. My pace right now is a little slow while I figure out what works and what doesn’t. One mistake at a time is good enough for me 🥰 😇🤪

@ Ottawa, Ontario

A rare example of something in my head that manifested exactly how I envisioned it!

Digital gift cards now available on my website!

I should have a few ceramics available at the end of the month. I’m still figuring out new glaze colours 💜💛💚💙♥️

Have a great weekend ☀️
