CORI SANDLER POTTERY -
Cori Sandler Pottery can be found in collections from east to west. At the Cori Sandler Pottery Studio, in the Comox Valley, Vancouver Island, BC, Canadian Potter, Cori Sandler makes primarily cone 6 functional pottery with a sense of whimsy and joy. She uses bright bold colours and glazes, slips and underglazes and dark outlines to make her playful drawings fit into any contemporary decorated home. Cori also makes pottery in her Vancouver Island Studio in the Comox Valley (just a quick ferry ride to Denman Island and Hornby Island - The Gulf Islands), which are more subtle and quiet reflections of nature, asking the holder of the pot to gently carress and consider the hands that made the pottery. This pottery has been wood fired in a wood fired kiln called an Anagama kiln for up to 3 days with solid stoking time and about a week cool down before the pottery can be unloaded. This work is of a more somber and introspective nature - pots...with deep rich colours and textures.
"I take the responsibility of making really GOOD funcitonal pots quite seriously. It is my intention that using a Coroi Sandler Pot, makes the ritual of eating a meal joyous. I love food and I love art and my pots are not meant to sit on a mantle or behind a glass door never to come out for use. I love the notion that someone, somewhere is smiling and caressing a pot that my hands made and knows in their heart that I took care in the designing, the making and the finishing of that pot. I am truly grateful for everyone that makes a choice to own one or several of my pieces and I want them to know from the minute they pick the pot up when considering buying it, that they have a very well HANDMADE, HANDCRAFTED, mug, or serving piece that will be enjoyed for years and years. I don't take the making of FUNCTIONAL pottery lightly. I infuse each piece with my personality, and enthusiasm for clay. Thanks so much to all of you who have supported my art and craft and are enjoying my pots. You make me smile daily!"
