We are Passionate About Our Work

For a decade, Benoit Leblond’s life was defined by the grit of metal fabrication and the punishing pace of industrial trades. It was honest, demanding work, but it left little room or the things that truly mattered.

This story actually began fifteen years ago at Maxwell Pottery, during a five-year stretch learning the soul of a pottery studio. That foundational experience planted a seed that lay dormmate while he built a life in the trades. While the work was earnest it came at a cost: long hours and a grueling schedule that both Benoit and his wife Shanel were out the door before the sun was up, often missing out on those quiet vital moments with their young children.

In May 2026, the path finally leads him back home. By trading the welding torch for the chance to get his hands back into the clay. He brings the craftsmanship of a fabricator to the soul of hand-crafted stoneware.

This transition is more than a new chapter it’s a return to balance. It’s about trading a frantic commute for a purposeful life at the heart of the home, pouring that focus and heritage into every piece he fires. From his hands to yours this is function art rooted in hard work, family and the spirt of the Canadian wilderness.
