I’m having a pinch me moment because my work is in the window of the @claydesignstudio gallery! For the month of May, you can check out (and even take home) my work at this lovely studio gallery in Harbour Village, Toronto. There are mugs, garlic graters, spoon rests, little bowls, utensil holders, butter bells and more! While you’re here, you’ll also find the wonderful functional, sculptural and wearable work from other makers who call Clay Design their (studio) home 💕 Side note: you should stop by one (or all) of the three bakeries on the street 😋 Final thoughts: 🥹
