Hello there, I am Deanne!

Or as my friends and family call me, “Dee”, and I am the creative behind Dee Pottery.

Pottery by Deanne Smith. Handmade pottery in Grande Prairie, Alberta.

Discovery of creative expression

 I was born and raised in Grande Prairie, Alberta and have always enjoyed working with my hands. Over the years I have dappled in several forms of art and creative expression but there is something so grounding about pottery. Feeling the clay move beneath my hands and watching the clay move around and around the wheel is very meditative. I believe the food we eat or the drinks we enjoy in hand made vessels taste so much better. The medium of clay is challenging but rewarding and when I open up the final kiln firing to a squeal of excitement, I know all the time and effort have been worth it.

I am always delighted to know my little clay babies are being enjoyed by others out there in the world.

Holding in your hands something that was dug up from the earth, wedged into a workable state, formed into a beautiful yet functional vessel, trimmed and shaped, withstood one fire of 1800 degree Fahrenheit and then another fire of 2222 degrees Fahrenheit soaking glass into her pores to show her true beauty.

How bad ass is that?

She went through all that before she was ready for you.

Ceramics is a meditation on the beauty of imperfection, a celebration of the irregularities and variations that give each piece its own unique character.
