Down to Earth!

We are the only store in town with a selection of functional and decorational hand-made Island pottery. To see and buy more pottery products online, please visit http://www.needlenart.com/id15.html


Christina Lindstrom, Nanaimo
For nearly 15 years now we carry Christina Lindstrom's pottery designs, at first in our Pier Street Gallery, later on pottery expanded into the Needle & Arts Centre and adds to the artsy and crafty flair.
Christina and her husband reside in Nanaimo and are originally from Sweden, which is reflected in her designs. Her main lines are the light glaze on white clay and the blue or green glazes on red clay, but she always tries interesting new products and glazes. All her pottery is lead free, diswasher, microwave and oven safe. You find tea pots and mugs, a variety of bowls, bakers, canisters, plates, Sushi dishes and much more. We also take custom orders!
Ed Oldfield, Powell River
Last year we started with Ed Oldfield's Raku pottery. Ed lives in Powell River and specializes on Raku bowls and limited editions Raku Salmon and other fish species, mounted on driftwood.






















































Barb Hall, Campbell River
Recently we added Barb Hall's (Mary Potter) distinct blue green pottery which nicely complements the other product lines in our store. Barb lives in Campbell River.

This summer you'll also find us with pottery on our attractive Pier Street Farmers Market, every Sunday from 9 am till 2 pm in the vicinity of the famous Discovery Fishing Pier and the new Maritime Heritage Centre.
