What’s So Special About These Mugs? 

My name is Melba Seto and I love CKUA. It has been a part of my life inspiring my growth since I began my pottery journey and I want to give back in this small way. 

Celebrating 97 years of CKUA, I am making 97 limited edition mugs, each number representing every year we listeners have supported CKUA. (Please be patient as I am currently making them, while raising a family, and running my small business!) 

When you hold this mug, listening to Alberta Morning or your favourite CKUA program… 97 of us will be with you believing in CKUA and celebrating CKUA- together, wherever we are. 

Each mug is hand thrown on a pottery wheel, shaped and every handle and logo is hand cut and attached while tuning into CKUA.

Each mug is hand carved with a unique retro style number (from 1-97) and a line that symbolizes the continuity that connects us all.  There are ONLY 97 mugs.  

$50 from each of of the sales of these mugs will go to supporting CKUA programming.

About The Potter

Melba Seto began pottery in 2010 and within her first year spent over 1000hrs learning the craft.  She began to pursue a dream becoming a professional potter and instructor. Due to unfortunate circumstances her dream to open a studio and continue her passion for teaching others was put on the back burner each time the dream got close to being actualized. 

After launching Bowness Soapworks in 2020 and staring to build her dream again to open the pottery studio, it was finally made possible this year- 2023. 

These limited pieces not only symbolize a long painful journey of chasing your dreams, but the tenacity and determination of a human can render new beginnings. 

The pieces are imperfect as is the process to get to this point. From Melba’s hands to your home- may the imperfections remind you that dreams though sometimes may take a turn- are always possible if you keep trying.

As all pieces are handcrafted, there may be slight variations in terms of size and color compared to the photos and between the different pieces in the same series.
