Welcome to Swampdog Ceramics

Creating Functional Pottery

For Everyday Use

We create functional pottery pieces for your home and garden. Every piece is formed and glazed by hand, making each one unique. Our work includes both wheel thrown and slab built pieces that are built and fired in our home studio just west of Peterborough, Ontario.  

We invite you to have a look through our website, where we post pictures of our various pieces, and we’ll work to keep it updated.  If you see something that you like, but cannot find it either on Etsy or in a local shop, please get in touch with us and hopefully we can make one special for you.  Please contact us to find out more.

You can also follow our recent activity on Instagram, or Facebook where we will continue to post our new work, some projects in process, and every once in a while we’ll throw in a cute dog picture just to mix it up a bit.

Ordering and purchasing

Where can you find our work?  

Through winter 2024/25 we will be focusing on developing some new techniques and forms for our pottery and preparing for a couple of in-person markets in 2025.

We also regularly post our recent work on Instagram, so please follow us there too.  If you see something that you like, please send us a direct message to see if it’s available for purchase.

Upcoming Markets

Check back for markets that we are planning to attend in 2025.

On Request purchases:

Much of our work consists of one of a kind pieces as we love to experiment with glazes, graphics, shapes and sizes.  If you see something you like and it’s sold, we can likely make you another one that would be similar, but not exactly the same.  Please connect with us and we can let you know how long it would take to make something for you. 

If you would like to order something more personalized, please fill in the details on our custom order page and we will get in touch with you to work on details and let you know what might be possible.
