In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Janet Sunberg, the talented potter behind Dirt to Dishes Pottery in the picturesque town of Shelburne, Nova Scotia. Janet’s story is a real-life example of what happens when you follow your creative passions—even when it means making a major life shift.

Janet shares how she went from teaching full-time in the hustle and bustle of Toronto to embracing a slower, more fulfilling life as a potter in a small, historic town. We talk about everything from her love of pottery (which started with a surprise date night at a pottery studio!) to the ups and downs of running her own creative business. Janet’s journey is all about learning, adapting, and finding joy in the work she loves.

If you’ve ever dreamed of turning your creative hobby into something more, Janet’s advice to “just do it” might be exactly what you need to hear. And trust me, you’ll want to visit her studio if you’re ever in Shelburne. Check out her beautiful work at Dirt to Dishes Pottery.

So grab your favourite mug (maybe even a handmade one!), settle in, and enjoy this inspiring conversation. Janet’s story just might be the spark you need to start your own creative journey. 🌿
