Hi! My name is Karen and Acorn Pots is run entirely by me! I am a ceramic artist living in the Greater Toronto Area in Ontario, Canada.

I began my ceramics journey in 2020 but I have always been interested in sculpting, painting and creating just about anything with my hands. What I love most about ceramics is that I can create almost anything I want! I am inspired by nature (animals, birds, plants) and bright colours palettes. The designs of my functional wares are inspired by patterns in quilting/fabrics/textiles.

In 2023, I had the idea of making a frog perpetual calendar, that could wear different hats. The design has evolved a lot in the past couple years but I am still making it (among many other animals) today!

I hope you find some joy in my creations and I truly appreciate your interest and support of my creative work!

-Karen
