Thank you so much to everyone who came out for the opening of the Salt Spring Island Potters Guild Annual Sale yesterday. I really enjoyed myself.
The show runs all weekend and is truly worth a visit.
Here is what you need to know:
Salt Spring Island Potters guild Annual Show and Sale
Mahon Hall, 114 Rainbow Rd., Ganges
Saturday and Sunday May 7 and 8, 10 – 4 pm
Starting today, May 4, our store and gallery will be open five days a week – Wednesday through Sunday from 10am – 5pm.
Looking forward to your visit….
We are open today Easter Sunday 10 am – 4 pm and tomorrow Easter Monday 10 am – 4 pm.
See you at the studio…..
So it’s been quiet in blog land while I have been busy in the studio. In the next few weeks I will be participating in two different shows. The first one coming up April 30 – May 1 is the Saanich Peninsula Art Council’s annual fine art show that is being held at the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney. If you are on Vancouver Island I invite you to come by for a visit.
Our studio and gallery will remain open as well, although most of my work will be with me in Sidney.
The week following Sidney I will be the guest artist at the Salt Spring Island Potters guild annual show. More to follow….
SECONDS on the 2nd of the 2nd @ 2 PM

CHINESE NEW YEAR!
With renovations mostly done and new/old floor in, we are excited to reopen the studio and
gallery for 2011.
We invite you to visit on Wednesday February 2 for our customer appreciation sale.
I have marked down many of my pieces (teapots excluded) and will feature my
seconds sale on the second of the second.
You will find a diverse selection of vases, platters, bowls and much more at reduced
prices. Some pieces are reduced by more than 50%.
Year of the Rabbit by Coco Jones
In celebration of the Year of the Rabbit February 3, we will continue the sale on select
tea and clay items until Sunday February 6th.
Following a year of mixing, sampling, blending, and fine-tuning and sampling some
more, we are finally ready to launch our new Chinese Zodiac teas.
Receive a gift of the new Rabbit Tea with the purchase tea or clay.
When: Wednesday February 2nd – 2pm – 5 pm
Thursday February 3rd – Sunday February 6th – 10am – 4 pm.
Where: 8350 Richards Trail, North Cowichan, BC (250) 748 3811
The studio is full of flooring that is gently drying right now and I have had a new idea for opening the studio again. I will let you know shortly on the fun to follow. The new date will be Wednesday February 2.
Happy International Tea Day! As we are getting ready to open the studio and tea gallery for the day, here is a little reminder of the teapot draw that will happen later today. I also encourage everyone to enjoy a fairly traded cup of tea. International Tea Day was established in honour of tea workers and their plight for improved living and working conditions. Let’s celebrate tea and the workers that facilitate our enjoyment!
After a very busy teapot season, I am now working on a number of new creations. The plan is to have them ready for Circle Craft in Vancouver in mid November. Keeping in mind different tastes and needs, there will be short pots and tall pots, round pots and square pots. If you are considering treating yourself to an original handbuilt teapot this year, please let me know before early November and I will still be able to accommodate your special wishes. Give me a call or send me a line and let me know what type of teapot suits your fancy.
This has been one of the busiest season we have ever had at the studio and farm. It has been so much fun meeting people from all over the world. We are still in the process of building our farm and our tea and clay gallery. And we are enjoying the process of making it happen.
My hands are elbow-deep in clay these days while I gear up for the Circle Craft Fair in Vancouver and Out-of-Hand in Victoria, both at the end of November. It’s crunch time and I am trying to get as much creative time in as possible.
Here is a quick look at what’s cooking in the studio….
my two canine studio buddies. Sigi and Gus are standard dachshunds and a great inspiration for clay creations.
Sigi is our resident senior citizen. He still runs the show. Gus is our little work bee and farm dog. He keeps us wonderfully entertained.
