Meet the Maker

Original designer & maker of the Canoe On Lake Dip Set. Providing quality pottery products and service since 1991!

Daniel studied at Sheridan College School of Craft and Design and worked there for 5 years, honing his skills and perfecting his craft. He attributes his pride in his craftsmanship and tasteful use of colour to his time spent there.

Each piece starts as a ball of clay. They say to their customers that the piece was mud two weeks ago. Using a strong stoneware all work is handmade. The studio uses a variety of methods of making. Pieces are either wheel thrown, hand built, pressed or slip cast.

All of their glazes are made in-studio. And for this reason they know that their red’s do not contain lead. With his own glaze recipes Daniel hand paints each pot in one of his many unique designs.

“We produce functional pots. We want people to enjoy them for their utilitarian qualities as well as their decorative appeal.”

Each Maxwell Pottery piece is made with skill and care, and is designed to be beautiful and functional. When you bring home Maxwell Pottery, you bring home quality, handmade, Canadian workmanship that will stay with you for years.
