Collection: Shauna MacLeod - Black Crow Pottery

Shauna MacLeod

Shauna creates her pottery and one-of-a-kind ceramic art out of her home studio in Dartmouth Nova Scotia.  A BFA ceramics major from NSCAD University in 2011 she opened Black Crow Pottery in 2012.  Focusing primarily on using local earthenware clay, she creates beautiful, thought provoking, and deeply personal work.  Highly process oriented, her story telling is in the making of the object.  From mixing her own clay in celebration and respect of the local landscape, to referencing historical ceramic processes to connect with the history of the medium, to documenting her personal narrative through form and surface. 

Recently she has discovered a love for Raku firing.  This technique has offered her a new mode of communication through her work. With a strong sense of connecting the community to the land of Nova Scotia, she used the opportunity as the 2018 artist-in-residence with Pier 21.  2020 saw her joining Art1274 Hollis, a long-established cooperative gallery in Halifax, and had work purchased by the Nova Scotia Art Bank.
