Pottery made by Cindy Clarke in her Edmonton, Alberta, Canada studio has delighted clients around the world for many years. Based on the belief by Cindy, a potter for over thirty years, that good stoneware pottery should be used, not just set up on a shelf to be another dust collecting ornament, every piece is finished so edges are chip resistant, pot bottoms are trimmed with a "foot" for appearance and sanded smooth to protect your table, and the handcrafted pottery is thrown heavily enough to stand up to years of day to day usage. All the pottery is designed to be a quality product which will stand the test of time. All of our handcrafted stoneware pottery is microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe and is shipped with a "stoneware pottery care" card with tips on looking after each piece. Here on our web site you will find a selection of stoneware items available for immediate purchase as well as those which are available to be made to your order. Pottery making DVDs are available for purchase through the website as is the "Perfect Profile" throwing rib. Cindy Clarke pottery is also available through a select group of retailers. Stocks are limited. Please visit them when you are in their area.
