There is a large group of part time artists who make our studio a busy and vibrant place. Photographers, potters, painters but whatever their medium, they use our studio to develop and express their creative selves. Have a look at the happy faces that we see on a weekly basis.

Out of our glaze kilns. Kaori Gokita's Koi fish bowls are perfect and James Lash "Winter Birch" with Cardinals bowls hit the mark. We love to see Linda Shier's fish trays emerge from the kiln. Sangeeta Rekhi did a fabulous job with the two bowl set, in two tones. Have a look.

Our Colour Collective painters are in a romantic mood, thinking about Valentines Day approaching. They just finished this series of cards, with Valentines in mind. We think that they're stunning and we hope that you do too ! https://t.co/0YT2j9gHit https://t.co/h5UQcetlFP

in 2021 James Lash was commissioned by the Amazon Prime show "Loudermilk", to produce a series of prop mugs for an episode about a substance abuse support group. In this episode a member of the group made mugs for the other members, poorly made mugs that leak all over everyone

B.C. potter Frank Olm has donated a large collection of his reproduction Roman oil lamps to PotteryWorks. Meticulously researched and reproduced, the decorative detail is astounding. Available at PotteryWorks studio and PotteryWorks River Market. a huge thanks to Frank Olm !

There's nothing like unloading warm pots, on a cold morning. James Lash's "Winter birch' tea pot is perfect, Kaori Gokita's Japanese script platter is jaw dropping as are Dan Tell's "Danville" bowls. James Lash also contributed the square neighbourhood platter, always so popular.

We don't know about you but, we're looking forward to spring. That got us thinking about spring flowers, that reminded us of the Snap Photo Squad photo archives. It's the motherload of fabulous flower photos from the Squad. Have a look at these beautiful shots and dream of spring

PotteryWorks potters love Valentine's Day so they have been getting ready for weeks now. They have produced this assortment of work, great gifts for the loves in your life. From wheel thrown heart bowls to tea lights candles and Ami Sangha's hand built heart candy dishes and more

Linda Raudonus is very well known for her fabulous abstract paintings. However Linda is also a potter and wheel thrower and works several days a week on glazing, particularly at our River Market store. Linda is open to trying anything new when it comes to developing new designs.

PotteryWorks is blessed to have a very serious hand building ability, thanks to instructors Ami Sangha and Jesselin T'Kenye. Our artists are producing unique and top quality work, with the guidance of these two talented potters. Hand building allows us such freedom of design.

From the kilns, Linda Raudonus is on fire with her new 60's inspired design. Kaori Gokita's Goldfish bowls are off the chart stunning. Ami Sangha's hand built heart bowls are delicious, perfect little jewels and Bradley Merritt hit it out of the park with his latest whale plate

The final version of an Interpretive Panel about Woodlands Institution is complete. A collaboration between Fraser Crossing Constructors, The City of New Westminster and the Province of B.C., the finished design includes photos of PotteryWorks artists James Lash and Linda Shier.

Artist Geoffrey Lee developed new techniques for his abstract paintings. Geoffrey's work was a highlight at Inclusion Art Show. He is back in the studio, exploring variations, listening to jazz and whistling while he works. The studio is a happier place when Geoffrey is in it.

Last year artist James Lash told us that he wanted to paint seascapes instead of landscapes. We shouldn't have been surprised, because looking back James has a history of painting some great seascapes. Have a look at some new and some very old seascapes that James has turned out.

While preparing an art show submission, we were stunned at some of the images we found in Photographer Sheldon Simon's artist file. We download from our photographers cameras every week after their Snap Photo Squad field trips, and there were some images that just blew us away.

Colleen Yip hit a home run with this ring designed orange bowl and we always love Kaori Gokita's Japanese script pottery. Jocelyn Tong, our newest artist produced this reindeer Pho bowl. Lydia Kim's work is so recognizable and always unique ! Our customers love Lydia's work.

Snap Photo Squad visited North Vancouver yesterday enjoying a trip on the Seabus and visiting the Shipyard. We loved seeing their view of our beautiful region. Personally, I get focussed on the daily demands of life and forget to look up at the incredible surroundings we enjoy

The Colour Collective are feeling the love for Valentines Day, experimenting with some ideas. They all know what they want to express, caring and a chance to tell everyone how they feel about them. Here's some examples of their designs in development, but with a clear message.

2025 was an incredible year for our Snap Photo Squad. The quality of their work reached a new level, for all of them. Congratulations to all of our photographers, Sheri Lynn Seitz, Bradley Merritt, Jesse Fields, Sheldon Simons and of course Akim Zongo. Looking forward to 2026 !

Ryley Jensen Fisk's work is exquisite and the result of her family lineage. Ryley's grandmother is Doreen Jensen, a Gitsxan elder, artist, carver, activist and educator. She served on the Board of Trustees of the National Museum of Nature in Ottawa and Emily Carr School of Art.
