Create

Every piece of pottery is a story waiting to be told. From functional mugs to decorative ceramics, each item is crafted with intention, inspired by the prairie landscapes and the beauty of everyday moments. Handmade, small-batch, and designed to bring warmth to your home.

Retreat

Claycation is more than a getaway—it’s an immersive experience where creativity and connection come together. Held in a heritage family home, these retreats provide a space to unplug, get your hands dirty, and embrace the joy of making. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced potter, there’s room for you here.

Teach

Pottery is an art form meant to be shared. Through workshops and hands-on classes, I guide others in discovering the magic of clay. Whether it’s a single session or a deep dive into ceramics, these lessons are designed to inspire and empower creativity in a welcoming and supportive environment.

From My Hands To Your Home

  • I'm Marea Olafson—potter, retreat host, and prairie storyteller. But wait, I’m not just one thing! I’m also a clay enthusiast, a heritage home restorer, a community builder, and a creator of meaningful moments through pottery. Claycation and Freba Pottery are more than just pottery—they’re an experience, a way to reconnect with yourself, and a love letter to the land I call home.

    Whether you're shaping your first clay piece at a Claycation retreat, sipping coffee from a Freba mug, or simply enjoying the beauty of handcrafted work, I want you to feel connected—to art, to nature, and to yourself. Let’s take that creative spark and turn it into something tangible, something real. Let’s create together!"

I went to this place on my way to BC and It was super cute!! It’s not difficult to get to as the driveway is connected to the highway. I definitely recommend going here if you are not in a rush.

(There also a cute cat that walks around and follows you)

Wow. Marea makes such beautiful pottery. Stopped in on a whim and definitely don't regret it. Will absolutely be stopping by on most, if not all, of our trips between Winnipeg and Saskatoon!

What an incredible idea! Cute little Pottery shop we've driven by so many times, can't believe this was our first time stopping in. Got lucky and the owner was even outside! She's so friendly and we found many goodies
