Paul Guran

I’m a potter with over 15 years of experience working with clay, and for the past 7 years, I’ve had the joy of teaching pottery at Cottage Pottery Studio in London, Ontario.
My teaching style is relaxed, humorous, and detail-oriented.
I believe in creating a welcoming space where students feel supported as they explore both hand-building and wheel techniques.
Whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your skills, I’m here to guide you at your own pace, with patience and a good dose of fun.
Beyond the studio, I stay connected to the local arts community by participating in farmers’ markets and craft shows across Ontario, where I share my love for colorful, functional pottery. When I’m not working with clay, you’ll often find me scuba diving, hiking in nature, or getting creative with fiber arts — especially anything involving wool.
Pottery, for me, is all about connection, creativity, and joy — and I love sharing that with others.

Any other potters out there feeling like there is not enough time to enjoy creativity when you have to think about business, web site, orders, markets, supplies, social media and whatever life throws on top of that?
