One year — 6:40 p.m.

At 6:40 p.m. one year ago today, my life changed.

And this is what my pottery store looks like today. Two mugs left. In the entire year since the accident, there have only been two times when I’ve been this close to completely running out of pottery.

Somehow, through all of it, I’ve managed to keep something on these shelves.

There were fewer pieces than before. Sometimes much fewer. There were days when making pottery was incredibly difficult, and many times when I couldn’t make nearly as much as I wanted to.

But I kept making. And you kept showing up.

You stopped at my little honour-system store along Highway 16 and bought pottery.

When the shelves were getting bare, you came back after I restocked them.

You told other people about Freba Pottery. You shared my posts. You came to workshops. You gathered your people and came for Claycations.

You encouraged me, sent messages and continued to believe in this little pottery business in rural Saskatchewan.

I don’t think you could possibly know what that has meant to me this year.

Because for much of this past year, I have been trying so incredibly hard to get back.

Back to the potter I was.
Back to the amount I could make.
Back to the pace I could keep.
Back to the business owner I was before the accident.

I’ve measured myself against that version of Marea over and over again. I want to go forward.

And strangely enough, these nearly empty shelves have helped me understand something. Freba Pottery was never really about how many mugs I could make.

It was about what happened because I made them. A mug becoming part of someone’s morning.

A stranger walking into an honour-system pottery store in rural Saskatchewan and trusting the person they’ve never met who made what’s sitting on the shelf.

People sitting around a table with clay in their hands. Friends coming for a Claycation and leaving with stories.
People creating things they didn’t know they could create. People connecting.
Connection through creativity. I’ve said those words for years.

After this year, I understand them differently. I’m still healing. I’m still learning. I’m still figuring out what this next version of Freba Pottery — and this next version of me — looks like.

But I know I am more passionate than ever about creating objects, spaces and experiences that bring people together. So tonight, exactly one year later, I’m not celebrating getting back to where I was.

I’m grateful that I’m here.

I’m grateful that I’m creating.

And looking at these two lonely mugs tonight, I am incredibly grateful that you kept showing up.

Thank you.

Now I suppose I’d better make some pottery. ❤️
