Hey, in case you haven't heard, on October 17 in Canada it's no longer illegal to ingest marijuana (in controlled amounts, safely and appropriately dressed for the occasion). So it seemed like a good moment to encourage you to try ceramics and make a bong...totally for ornamental reasons, of course.

And seriously, the bongs crafted in Montreal's High Art studio would be at home on a shelf with your most prized possessions — take a look at their Montreal Painters series, a set of collaborations with local artists (you can see a few examples below).

Of course, we wouldn't ask founders Kristian North and Richard Lawson to let us in on all of the secrets of creating one of their glazed and painted vessels. But in this video, they share the basic steps that you must follow to make your own bong.
