Hannah Stinson is a ceramic artist and illustrator. She has been making Munbeibis, sculpted ceramic figurines, since 2014. Munbeibis come from a story Hannah imagined about a group of moon rocks that have descended from the Moon to Earth, drawn here by their curiosity about humans, the forest, seashore, and snacks. On earth, the Munbeibis love to spend time with their favourite humans and go on adventures.
Hannah’s sculptural ceramic work can be found in shops and galleries in Canada and Japan.

Good Wheel Ceramics makes functional pottery that is not only pleasing to the eye, but feels good to hold and use. Each pot is thrown and finished on the potter’s wheel. We use a variety of different glazes, mostly personal recipes, in addition to letting the natural beauty of the raw clay show.
As a small batch artist, pieces are thrown, glazed and fired without molds or forms, with the utmost of care. As a result, each piece is handmade and unique and something we can both be proud of.

Unique one of a kind hand made pottery
There are 29 steps involved to make my work. I use both the wheel and hands to make my work. My work explores the beauty of the nature, color and form. I meticulously carve and paint hundreds of little flowers and leaves to create simple yet a detailed piece. I don’t use any stencil or stamp to create my pottery so all of my work is unique and one of the kind.
Art has always been my passion. After 11 year of teaching fine art, I embarked on my life-long desire to become a potter in 1998. Now I am merging all the things I love and trying something new. I draw inspiration from past and present experiences and this is where ceramic meets fine art. My work explores the beauty of nature, color and form. I meticulously paint hundreds of little flowers, colors and symbols to create detailed mosaics representing my aesthetic and culture. The final work is unique and beautiful. I don’t use any stencil nor tools of any kind, no two pieces of my work are the same. Lynn
