Spinning a tale of love around the pottery wheel

20230118 181239

Janet Grabner reached out and told the Mail her story of meeting her husband, John Dalm.

My husband John and I met in Calgary 30 years ago when he took a pottery class I was teaching.
He wanted to take sign language but the class was full, so he chose pottery.

Much to our surprise we hit it off, got married, and the adventure began. We chose East Coulee to live in after driving through Central Alberta looking for an inexpensive place to live.
We sold John's vending machine business and our Calgary home, and took a leap of faith to open a pottery studio here. We bought an old Miner's house in East Coulee to use as a studio, and moved a house from Calgary to live in.
We have two great kids born and raised in the Valley. John and I work together to create unique pottery items that tourists love to buy.
We love the Drumheller Valley and are proud to call it our home.
