Lagom Studio Pottery
Discover a unique fusion of art and function in handcrafted pottery by Hillsdale artist Cory-Lynn Styles
Living a LAGOM Life
Lagom is a “just right” way of life. A Swedish philosophy of living that encourages moderation, balance, connecting with nature and taking care of our communities, being resourceful and doing things for ourselves; with our hands we can build and create beautiful and useful things. My pottery and practice are influenced everyday by this way of living. My aim is to live gently on this good earth and so I love the long-lasting quality and sustainability of handcrafted pottery for everyday use. A beautifully handcrafted mug filled, warm in your hands, a fresh morning, singing birds and the awesomeness of the changing seasons – these are the “just right” moments that make life so lovely.
Online Store 2021
Handmade ceramics by Cory-Lynn Styles are a lovely fusion of art and function and now available in our online shop! All pieces are MADE TO ORDER. If you are considering gifting handcrafted, order soon to give the maker (that’s me!!) enough time to create and get back to you in time!! Do you have something specific in mind? Ask me! I can make that for you.

heART Stones: for the Good of our Mental Health
In these uncertain times, it is especially difficult to be away from those we love and care about. Finding ways to stay connected are more important than ever because COVID challenges our ability to physically be together. Give a custom heART stone to show you care; express your love, gratitude, friendship and your gift will help support the Canadian Mental Health Association.
