Handcrafting Memories that Matter

The Juncture Where Art Meets Healing Meets Function

Welcome to the Heart of Handmade Pottery

 

At Cori Sandler Pottery, every piece tells a story, every glaze holds a memory, and every curve invites connection. My pottery isn’t just about function; it’s about creating moments—those simple, soulful rituals that ground us in beauty and presence.

The Inside Out Series is a celebration of the unexpected—beauty revealed in the quietest places. Each piece is thoughtfully crafted with intricate carvings and textures on both the interior and exterior, encouraging you to embrace the beauty within and without. Designed to surprise and delight, this series transforms ordinary moments into extraordinary ones. it symbolizes our stories, we all have lives lived and we carry those stories, some good an dsome difficult inside us, regardless or what we may appear like on the outside.

  • The Magic of Contrast: The contrast between smooth glazes on the outside against the textured details which are reflected inside as well as outside, creates a tactile and visual experience like no other.
  • Thoughtful Craftsmanship: These pieces are a labor of love, with every swirl, ridge, and curve meticulously designed to captivate and connect.

A Bit About Cori

 

“I take on the task of making functional pottery as a very serious responsibility. If you are to invest in having me join you and your family, and guests on a daily basis in your kitchens and dining rooms, I want you to really adore my pots, and know that I am honoured that you have chosen my pottery and I really am thrilled that my work brings you enjoyment.”

I have been a Studio potter and ceramic artist for over 30 years Along with being a potter I am also  ceramics instructor.

“Cori’s pottery is contemporary, fun and whimsical, mixing hues and textures from the ocean, rain forests and coastal mountains.”

Take a  look at what’s  available in my web-shop and hey, Come join a pottery class if you’re local to the Comox Valley.

“My heart sings when I’m making pottery”.

 

Workshops and Guest Artists

Hit me up if you’ve seen my instructional videos on social… and you’re interested in having me come to your guild or club or conference as a presenter or workshop artist.

I can structure 1, 2 or 3 day hands on workshops or I can do a lecture/demo style workshop covering a skill set including throwing, altering, and decorating a variety of different forms.

I love sharing what I have learned over 30+ years of making pots.  I know how much I have enjoyed workshops by various potters over my 30 years as a maker.  I find that I always walk away with something new, a way of looking at making that is different than I have been looking at my work, an aha moment is inevitable. 

My goal is to make sure everyone leaves my workshops with something they can take away and use in their own making. 

My enthusiasm is contageous. Be forwarned!
