Mary Philpott

We have great new vases, plates and platters, cups and bowls by local potter, Mary Philpott. We also have a good stock of her trademark tiles in various sizes.

Michelle Salter

 Local artist, Michelle Salter's  newest works are in encaustic, also known as hot wax painting. This is a very old method of painting and is done by adding coloured pigments to beeswax and applying the hot wax to a prepared board or canvas. In Michelle's work she uses a combination of beeswax, damar resin and oil paint. Michelle likes the encaustic medium for its luminous colours, its lustre and its highly textured surface, all of the qualities visible in the two works shown here.

Frederique Bonmatin

Just arrived, wonderful new ceramic pieces by Montreal artist Frederique Bonmatin. Frederique produces a number of functional and colourful bowls, teapots, cups and saucers, oil containers and salt and peppers all with a keen eye for interesting design elements that sets her work apart from other potters. Each piece has been carefully crafted in a porcelain stoneware mix.
" Whether a teapot, a cup or a bowl, the objects I create reflect my bubbly appreciation of a good meal." Frederique Bonmatin

Jennifer Graham

We have always loved Jennifer Graham's black and white pottery but her new polka dot work really has us excited. Jennifer has just brought us new full size mugs and espresso mugs in dipped and dot patterns. They are great for gifts or for your own collection. Jennifer is one of Stratford's hidden treasures and her bowls, glasses, mugs and votive holders are always in stock.

Brenda Radford

Brenda Radford is one of our new artisans who works from a home based studio in Stratford and creates jewellery in a number of different materials. We have a wonderful selection of her finely crafted sterling jewellery - necklaces, earrings and brooches and also some very whimsical acrylic pendants each with a small gemstone. Above is a blackened sterling silver two-sided pendant on a black rubber necklace and a Venetian mask necklace and earrings in sterling with an antiqued silver patina.

Cam Fisher

Cam Fisher is a local potter who is taking some time off in the fall to return to school for a year. We were fortunate to be one of the last few orders Cam filled before heading south to work at a children's camp for the summer. Needless to say we are very pleased to have a number of pieces of Cam's porcelain pottery.
Cam produces beautifully turned functional vessels in porcelain that he then decorates with iron oxide image transfers. As seen here, Cam often uses the tree as his image of choice. To see more of Cam's work there is a link to Cam's website on the right.
