Handmade in the Valley
Pottery, textiles, and jewelry — crafted by hand in Wolfville, Nova Scotia
Every Piece Tells a Story
I'm Elena Vasquez, and I've been making things with my hands since before I could spell my name. Copper & Thread started in 2018 as a one-woman pottery studio in my garage. Today, it's grown into a full studio and shop in downtown Wolfville, where I create pottery, woven textiles, and copper jewelry — all inspired by the textures, colours, and rhythms of Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley.
Everything you see here is made by me, in this studio, one piece at a time. No mass production, no outsourcing, no shortcuts. Just me, my materials, and a lot of patience.
