Close your eyes and picture a wave

Now stand on the Nova Scotia shore and watch one crash at your feet. Shifting and moving with the tide, its shape is familiar and new all at once. Dynamic and beautiful in its fluid existence.

This is the essence of Wave Ceramics. Familiar shapes become one-of-a-kind pieces drawing your eye along their asymmetrical curves. And just like a wave, the glaze has a mind of its own, emerging from the kiln in a kaleidoscope of surprising colours.

Inspired by the pieces she envisions in her own home, Morgan Sheppard approaches her artform with an open mind, letting each piece find its unique identity. Out of her home studio in Enfield, Nova Scotia, she creates functional, small-batch ceramics with intriguing forms – useful vessels intended to bring joyful experiences to your kitchen or table. A vase embracing a fresh bouquet. A bowl of soul-warming soup. A candle holder catching drips from a gentle glow. Each piece is as unique as the person who sees it and says, “this was made for me.”
