Dolly's Daughter

About Dolly's Daughter

Dolly's Daughter is a specialty retail business located on Blue Jay Drive in the Uplands neighbourhood of London, Ontario. It serves the local community by offering pottery classes, workshops, and ceramic supplies. The business provides various hands-on experiences, including glazing workshops where participants can create specific items such as mugs, bowls, or plates. Specific techniques offered include the frozen pond technique and the peacock technique, both of which result in unique stoneware serving pieces that are dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe. In addition to these workshops, the business hosts ceramic social mobile events, corporate events, and private events for occasions like birthdays, showers, and business gatherings. They also participate in local farmers markets. The owner, Susan Vaisler, has been creating ceramics for over a decade. Her passion for pottery began at the age of eight at Pinecroft Studio in Alymer, Ontario. She describes her goal as spending her retirement teaching and producing pottery. Customers can book workshops online, and the business offers a two-week pickup period for items after they have been fired in the kiln.
