Welcome to be|ware pottery!

Once upon a time, ‘be|ware’ was a pottery joke that became a tattoo. But, it’s turned into something a bit more than that. It’s a hobby that’s become a side-hustle that has taken over nearly half of my house, and all of my free time. (I’m not complaining, mind you.)

Have a look around, read about us, what we’re up to and why, learn about some amazing community groups and projects in Hamilton, ON.

If you’re looking for something you can’t find, feel free to contact us and see if we can help. If you’re new to collecting or using handmade ceramics, you can learn more about looking after them here.
