Every piece of pottery from Albert County Clay is one of a kind but some individual
pieces grow to have a life of their own. These are truly hand crafted pieces of art made
to express Judy’s thoughts and feelings
throughout the process
of creating them.

How it’s made
The work involved in cleaning and preparing
the rough clay belongs to David. He dries
and then breaks down the 110 kg (50 lb)
batches of the clay at a time, using a machine
he designed.
The ball mill is like a
rock tumbler that changes
the chunks of clay to a fine
powder. The clay particles are
then hand-sifted to remove pieces of dirt,
rock and vegetation, re-soaked to become
workable, and stored to await use.

Jam Pots
This is one of our
newer items and
guaranteed to be a hit
The entire process takes several weeks...
...and a great deal of patience.
Judy manipulates the clay
into slabs then moulds
them to form unique tiles,
cylindrical containers,
decorative cones, and
flat-faced clocks.
Wildflowers, seaweeds, marsh greens are pressed
into the soft clay, then removed, leaving behind
a distinct impression, which she highlights with
a coloured glaze.
During the firing process, a high level of
oxidized iron lends the warm reddish tinge to
the otherwise grey unfired clay.

One of a kind
These are a good representation of Judy’s regular production pottery, but because
they are all virtually one of a kind and not made from a mold, the pieces you order will
be slightly different. As a result, your piece of pottery will be unique.
We try to have most categories in stock year-round but designs such as grape leaf,
iris and the large leaves, are only made during the summer growing season.
Call or email to place your order. We take VISA, Master Card and Checks.
Delivery of your order will be through Canada Post and a
Canada Post tracking number will be provided
