My Creation Place
Address
Hello, and thank you for exploring my shop!
My name is Christine Donovan, and I was the owner/operator of a paint-your-own-pottery studio from June 2019 through June 2024, when I decided to transition to a home studio and focus on hand building pottery pieces from slabs of clay, using mostly stoneware clays. In addition, I've dabbled in resin art for a few years. Previously, I spent my career of over 20 years in the trust and investment management business.
My home studio is my happy place, where I can create pieces that I imagine, or that my customers commission me to make. This online shop ~ My Creation Place ~ is where I display these items for sale, in the hopes that others find them as beautiful and useful as I imagine them to be! I love the idea that somewhere, in a home I will never visit, a family will gather -- and a piece that I made will be there, appreciated by strangers. That makes me happy, too. I most enjoy making custom pieces requested by family, friends and studio customers -- and along the way, I make pieces just because I feel like it. Feel free to reach out if you have an idea for a custom piece, and I will design with you and make the piece within 4 to 6 weeks (it takes a long time for clay to dry enough to be bisque fired successfully, and then will need to be glazed and fired again).
Check out my paint-your-own-pottery studio page on Instagram (@thecreationplace) to watch past live stoneware kiln unloadings, to see examples of pieces I've made (in addition to pieces my customers have glazed). There are so many glazes and shapes, the possibilities are truly endless!
