A DECADE OF BIJOU LIVING

A decade..ten years. Sounds like a long time. I don't really have any concept of time - it's either "now" or "not now," I live in the moment - the adhd posse will relate.


Bijou Living started ten years ago - May 5, 2008. I started writing to share cool things, give tips/techniques and journal my thoughts and feelings. Where have I been since my last post?

Leslie, at The Bloomerie (Arbutus and 12th), saw my pottery on Instagram and contacted me to purchase some pieces. Donald Yim saw my pottery at the Bloomerie and called me for an interview. Here's the fun video we did! The soundtrack most definitely steals the show...


January 2018 saw the first major retrospective of Thomas Kakinuma's ceramic art! I'm proud to have been involved in that. 



Remember my Kakinuma post ten years ago? The Kakinuma family reached out to me in 2015 as they'd read the post. We met shortly after, and a beautiful friendship has evolved.



May 26, 2018 - I'll be selling my studio pottery (my work) as part of a small conglomerate of West Van potters (only 16 of us). We'll be at the West Van Community Centre from 10 to 3. You can view what I'll be selling on my Instagram. Please come say hi - I'll tell you the story behind each piece.


I've been locked out of Facebook. I post regularly on Instagram, head on over that way - Instagram - Stories is where I share the behind-the-scenes stuff. Chat later, Stacy ✌🏻
