More about the Potters
Who We Are
Teagan McMeekin
Beige Basement Potter
Hey there! I'm Teagan, a ceramicist based right here in Saskatoon. You know, I'm all about bringing simple, fun, and contemporary pottery to the table. There's just something magical about shaping clay with my hands and seeing it transform into something beautiful. But you know what's even better? Connecting with others over art. Whether it's sharing stories in the studio or bonding over a shared love for ceramics, I find so much joy in those connections.
But hey, art isn't my only passion. I'm also a proud wife and mom of two amazing kiddos. As a family, we're all about embracing the great outdoors and exploring nature together. There's nothing quite like a hike in the woods or a day spent by the lake to recharge and reconnect.
So, that's a little glimpse into who I am. Thanks for stopping by and getting to know me a bit better!
Marea Olafson
Freba Pottery
Hey friend! I'm Marea, and I've been knee-deep in the world of wheel-thrown functional pottery for the past two decades. It's been quite the journey, let me tell you! My mantra? "Take your passion and make it happen." Those words have guided me through every twist and turn, leading me to where I am today.
In 2023, my husband and our two daughters decided to make a big move back to Wynyard, my hometown. We were lucky enough to purchase my grandmother's heritage house, which has been a dream come true. With this newfound space and opportunity, I decided to take a leap of faith and open my own honour system highway store.
But that's not all! I also created Elemental Claycation, an immersive pottery retreat right in the heart of our home. It's a place where pottery enthusiasts from near and far can come together to learn, create, and connect. And let me tell you, seeing the joy and inspiration that comes from these retreats is truly the highlight of my day.
So that's a little peek into my world. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me a bit better!
Jocelyn de Moissac
Klae Ceramics
Hey there! I'm Jocelyn, the creative force behind Klae, based right here in Saskatoon. You see, Klae isn't just a studio practice—it's a labor of love that emerged from a challenging time in my life. As a mother of three and a professional photographer, life can get pretty hectic. But in the midst of chaos, I found solace and release in creating simple and earthy ceramic pieces right in my home studio.
There's something incredibly grounding about working with clay—it brings balance and calm to my day-to-day life in a way that nothing else can. And you know what? I love sharing that sense of peace and tranquility with others through my creations. Whether it's a mug for your morning coffee or a vase for your favorite blooms, each piece is crafted with love and intention, meant to be enjoyed in your everyday moments.
So that's a little glimpse into the world of Klae. Thanks for stopping by and joining me on this journey of creativity and connection!
