Find a brand new beloved keepsake to add to your tree this holiday season. A selection of unique handmade ornaments are now available at One and Only Handmade Marketplace in Fergus, ON.

Bonus: There’s a fantastic chocolate shop right next door!

If you have something particular in mind contact Kristen to talk about a custom piece. But don’t wait too long. Orders need to be in by mid-November to be delivered by Christmas.

The little towns along Ontario’s Grand River are full of history and great little shops and restaurants. If you’re visiting Elmira or Elora this summer be sure to go a little further upstream to Fergus.

While you’re there pop in to the newly opened One and Only Handmade Marketplace. They’re carrying a special selection of Forest Floor Pottery among many unique and memorable items.

p.s. They’re also right next door to a gourmet chocolate shop!

Not long ago Kristen received a request to make a custom piggy bank as a gift for a little girl named Nora. It’s a busy time getting ready for spring but she was happy to do something unique.

Nora’s piggy started much like many others do; the flower details were part of the commission.

As was the vibrant glaze.

But the most special feature is Nora’s name below piggy’s tail!

Interested in having a custom piggy bank, birdhouse, serving dishes, or set of mugs made on commission?

Sunday was a beautiful day for the Dundas Artisan Market!

There was a great turnout, over 50 artists, and perfect weather. Chatting with so many people and sharing some new work for the first time made it even better. The organizers do an amazing job of making it easy for both vendors and shoppers. It’s a highlight of every year.

Next up for Forest Floor is another great show; Just Christmas at ForestView Church in Oakville on November 11th. Kristen also has some special commissioned work to complete for the holidays. Contact her if there’s something you’d like to order for a loved one, friend, or client.

Summer brought some new inspiration!

This Sunday’s Artisan Market at the Dundas Driving Park features over 40 artists and is always a highlight of the early fall (and super early holiday shopping season).

Find the Forest Floor Pottery tent to see the latest creations; including a whole series of honeybee pieces, lots of mugs, and more of the popular and unique piggy banks.

Hope to see you at the park. Rain or shine!

Happy to be returning to the Artisan Market this September!

This is always a wonderful day with a wide variety of artists and vendors in the beautiful Dundas Driving Park. Perfect to get an early start on holiday shopping or find someone to commission a unique piece.

When a close friend asks for a custom piece to celebrate her beloved husband’s birthday it is a special combination of privilege and pressure.

Steve is delighted with what Sandy had Kristen produce.

If you missed the Greenbelt Harvest Picnic don’t worry. Kristen will be at Art in the Park this Sunday in the Dundas Driving Park with a selection of piggy banks, bowls, bird houses, mugs and more…

There will be a great variety of local artists on hand for this event managed by the Dundas Sunrise Rotary Club.

Forest Floor Pottery will be among a select group of artists at the Greenbelt Harvest Picnic  on August 29th at Christie Lake Conservation Area.

This day long festival of roots music, headlined by Hamilton’s own Arkells and featuring the legendary Gordon Lightfoot, also showcases artists, food vendors, and local farms in an effort to highlight the interconnectedness of all aspects of this wonderful environmental region.

With two music stages, dozens of displays, and a gorgeous natural setting the Harvest Picnic has established itself on the music, art, agriculture, and environment communities over the past five years.

Make sure you drop by the Forest Floor booth to see some of Kristen’s newest pieces and say Hi.
