Some of these stores also carry our wonderful stoneware and raku pottery. If you can’t make it to our own studio, perhaps you can visit them. The Chemainus Store is a great bet for a good-sized collection of our work and the town, with its many historic murals , is a delightful place to visit too. As a resident of the fabulous town of Ladysmith , I would, of course, highly recommend you make us a destination visit as well. Our little town hosts the largest annual Christmas light up every November.

And for our friends and family in The Netherlands, you might be delighted to find our own link, as well as links to Dutch Ceramists and all sorts of other fabulous ideas, places to shop, visit and vacation, at Op Zijn Best which translated simply means, At its Best.
When you do get to our area, we’ll be happy to give you some great tips on enjoying the place. We’d highly recommend that you take a self-directed tour of artists in our area.
And if you need a terrific bed and breakfast place in the area, one that also provides a superb culinary experience, we highly recommend booking with our friends at The Island Estuary
There are, of course, lots of other great spots. One that is perfect for larger groups (weddings, team-building meetings and so on) is just down the road from our hospitable studio at the Kiwi Cove Lodge
And if you’re looking for an old-fashioned lodge experience, rustic cabins, delicious meals, and 185 acres of raincoast forest (forget the noisy electronics), you’ll find true peace at a well-known and usually booked well-in-advance historic place in nearby Yellow Point Lodge
I searched Google for ceramists and I found your blog
I like your blog, well done!
Hi there. I was just checking out your website, as I love to make pottery; I saw your website through a link on Imagine That. I am new to the area (live in Shawnigan Lake) and am looking for a pottery studio that I can work at and pick up the art again, after many years. I’m wondering if you know of any in the Duncan (or Shawnigan Lake) area? I’ve looked around, but couldn’t find anything. Sorry to post on your comments page about this, but I thought you might know, and I am quite stumped as to if there even exists a public studio around. thanks in advance very much. Your website is great! Surya
Since you’re so close, you might want to check out Cobble Hill Pottery. John or Harriet might have suggestions for you in the area even if they cannot accommodate you themselves. Good luck and don’t give up.
