Crafting Community Through the Art and Science of Ceramics
Welcome to Platypus Ceramics Studio, where creativity and craftsmanship come together to form something truly special. Based in the scenic town of Bragg Creek, our studio serves not only the local community but also caters to pottery enthusiasts from the greater Calgary area. Founded by Erin and Peter, Platypus Ceramics is the result of their shared passion for art and their dream of building a space where people can connect, create, and thrive.
​
Peter is a master woodworker, who passionately creates pieces from cutting boards, custom furniture to sculptures and just about anything you can dream of, made of wood. Erin is ceramist who has a love of creating functional custom pieces for clients with a Mid Century flare. Together they both share a love for all things Retro, hence the Mid Century vibe in the studio.
​
At Platypus Ceramics, we believe in the magic that happens when creativity meets science. Pottery is not just an art form – it’s a blend of technique, material knowledge, and endless imagination. Our pottery classes are designed to teach you the intricacies of working with clay while inspiring you to take time for yourself, slow down, and enjoy the meditative process of shaping your ideas into reality. Whether you’re throwing on the pottery wheel or hand-building, we provide a nurturing space for exploration.
​
With heart, soul, and a deep love for the craft, Erin and Peter have poured everything into this studio, and they can't wait to welcome you on your pottery journey.
