About the Potters:
Grahame (aka The "Hairy" Potter) and Debbie Wales have been making functional and one-of-a-kind pottery for over 40 years. Using both porcelain and stoneware clay, they fire with propane in a large reduction kiln yielding a wide variety of rich, luscious glazes in earth tones, jade-green celadon, vibrant blues, and a lustrous metallic, iron-saturated glaze. Their functional pots which include dinner sets, tea pots, casseroles, mugs, butter dishes, goblets, bowls, lamps, serving dishes, ikebanas, pitchers, platters and sinks are meant to be used and are lead-free, microwave, and dishwasher safe. Grahame specializes in wheel thrown pieces while Debbie has branched off to create square and rectangular work as well as one-of-a-kind carved wall hangings that depict the beauty of the Haliburton Highlands.
