Patricia Petersen Ceramics

I draw inspiration from the world around me. My intention is to tell a story with each piece I create.

Every item is handmade with love from start to finish.
Each piece is unique and one-of-a-kind as I love to explore different texture and designs.

Shop is now live.

Here’s the link to my Pottery shop. 

I’m excited to connect with you soon.

Let me get the “serious” stuff out of the way first.

Professionally, I am a healer, licensed acupuncturist and co-founder of a wellness clinic.
In this lifetime, I was also a corporate banker, aerobics and yoga teacher.
I have a brown belt in Karate and I was in the Police Cadets when I was young.

Hence, I am strong, a good listener and I can hold space when clients and friends are in need. I am calm in stressful situations and I can easily adjust to what is needed in each situation.

Whew, now that we’ve covered that, I’ll share with you the other important things about who I am and what I’m really about.

Potter? Artist? Creative? Rebel?
I started taking pottery lessons to help deal with my grief after my father died. I did not expect to fall in love with the process. (I almost quit after the second class but no one needs to know that)

Pottery has taught me that it is okay to be imperfect, to trust in the process and most importantly, to slow down and be present.
(Because when you are not present at the pottery wheel, the whole vessel collapses!)

Rebel? Maybe a little.
I do what brings me joy and have spent the last few years breaking down social and family expectations.
I am curious and I enjoy experimenting with different techniques and colors.
This is why I seldom create the same design twice.

Mother Earth
I have a deep connection with nature, hence I have a strong desire to save the world.

I believe that when as a collective, we are healthy on all levels – mental, physical and spiritual, we will be kinder to ourselves, the people around us and mother earth.

My work in ceramics is one way I dream of contributing to making the world – your world, a bit better.

My intention is that when you are using your mug or bowl, that you know you are not alone, that imperfection is good and that you feel a connection to nature.

Who and What Fuel my Soul
In order to be a good human, healer and potter, I spend a lot of time in nature.

I cry often and I laugh a lot. I am grateful to be married to a man who makes me laugh daily.

I am nourished by my soul friends who are brilliant at showing up and holding space.
Hence, I am fiercely protective of the people I love.

Last but not least,
I am an avid reader as I am constantly seeking knowledge and the truth. This means I try to speak up when needed.

I am a homebody.

I love nature, the mountain, the ocean, funky socks, and coffee.

Fun fact: I once officiated a wedding for close friends on a boat.

I live and work on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish peoples, including the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Commonly known as Vancouver, British Columbia.
