Pottery has been a part of Nova Scotia life for many years. During the nineteenth century, potters would have been few in number, making their goods in high demand. In keeping with tradition, our potters continue to use a 150 pound kick wheel to make period-specific pottery as well as their own unique pieces.
Sherbrooke Restoration Commission acknowledges that Sherbrooke Village is in Mi'kma'ki, the ancestral, unceded, and current territory of the Mi'kmaq. This territory is covered by the "Treaties of Peace and Friendship" which Mi'kmaw and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1725.
