Poterie LM Serafin Pottery
Updated: April 23, 2024
Spring is here! And with that comes Spring Markets.
I’m very excited to announce that I will be at the Spring Market at the National Arts Centre on May 5 from 11:00 – 4:00. This year’s theme is “uncommon makers” and I think that is an apt description for me and my work. How am I uncommon? Well, a lot of ceramic artists actually went to art school and I did not. I am mostly self-taught and through trial and error I have managed to become a legit potter! And I have a pottery shop and teach others how to make pottery too.
I can not wait to see your smiling faces at this market, which is rumoured to be one of the best spring markets in the “613.” #shoplocal613
Poterie LM Serafin Pottery Mother’s Day Sale is scheduled for Saturday, May 11 and Sunday May 12 from 10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Spring at Poterie LM Serafin Pottery
This year marks my 21st year in business! It’s such a delight to meet new people in the neighbourhood, or people passing through on their way to another part of beautiful Quebec. The local jewel of Mayo, Forêt la Blanche, is close by if you are looking for a hiking experience. Hiking and shopping for pottery afterwards? What could be better?
Stop in for a chat and a tour and see what I’m up to!
Currently I’m busy restocking soup bowls and Pho bowls. I sold my last teapot in December so I’ll be busy restocking teapots in all sizes too. Once leaves appear in the spring I will be making more hand built leaf bowls and platters.

Poterie LM Serafin Pottery is open almost any time you need it to be opened! My “regular” hours are Tuesday through Sunday from 10 – 5, but I can be flexible.
The pottery is opened by appointment year-round and is just 45 minutes from downtown Ottawa, and 20 minutes from downtown Buckingham, QC. For the best pieces, best prices, discounted seconds and special orders, a visit to the gallery in Mayo is a must.
“I have had the pleasure of meeting this lovely artist only once, but have purchased many of her pieces over the last few years. She has created pieces for me on request as well. I love the textures and colours of every piece created. Her glaze techniques and choices are always exquisite. I have a lot of pottery, but the works of this artist are my treasures.”

Shopping
#1
Shop in person at the gallery in Mayo – The gallery is located in Mayo, QC which is 45 minutes from downtown Ottawa, and 20 minutes from Buckingham. The drive is gorgeous any time of year, and all of the roads that lead to the pottery are well maintained in the winter months. Mayo’s jewel is Forêt la Blanche Ecological Reserve. Why not come out for a hike and visit the pottery too?

ONLINE SHOP COMING SOON!! This is no small feat.
While we set up the online shop, you can buy “online” via email conversation with the artist. All you need to do is drop me a line at LM@LMSerafin.com asking about whatever it is you’d like to purchase. I can send you suggestions and photos and we’ll make it happen. I accept payments by eTransfer, but also accept PayPal with 5% user fee.
IMPORTANT:
Buyer pays shipping. All packages shipped within Canada are insured for loss.
In some cases I may be able to deliver your pottery to the following areas: Mayo, Mulgrave, Thurso, L’Ange Gardien, Buckingham, Gatineau, and Ottawa for a small delivery fee.
All packages are shipped Canada Post. Canada Post is the least expensive way for me to ship your purchases.
All of the pottery made at LM Serafin Pottery is food safe. No lead has been used in the glazes.
The clay used is stoneware and fired to a high (2300 F) temperature. Stoneware is durable, but still needs care (SEE How to Care for your Pottery in the menu above).
All of LM Serafin pottery should be hand-washed.
It can be used in the microwave.
You can put it in a warming oven.
The pottery is not cookware.
Automatic dishwashing NOT recommended! It wears the glazes down, and after a few years of regular auto dish washing they look dull and feel tacky because the soap isn’t soap. It’s abrasive material designed to scratch the food from your dishes.
The Pottery is opened by appointment year round. You can call before coming or risk taking a chance. Please call 819-281-3307 to make an appointment.
