Hello,
I am moving to Parksville area this week and am eager to pot away right away.
i have heard that there is a pottery supply in Nanaimo. Would someone be
kind enough to
let me know if so..where.? If not I will be passing thru Vancouver and will
stock up on my way over.
I would also be interested in any co-op or guild in the area..workshops
etc. I am primarily
handbuilding and interested in learning pit,sawdust and woodfiring.
many thanks
ps. this email will be defunct as of march 11.until i resubscribe with a new
provider on the island.

Hi Joanne and welcome to the island.
2 guild/coops you may want to check out.
Parksville guild call Les Crimp, hes on clay art but I dont have his email ,
phone 250 468-7072, they operate out of the old train station in parksville
Nanaimo guild meets 2nd tues of every month and sponsers 2 large sales a
year, more info from me if you need it, as I recall the initial share is
$10.00 and yearly fee is $10.00, we usually have an education component to
meetings and also orgaNIZE WORKSHOPS.
There are 2 suppliers in town (south of town actually) Pottery warehouse
716-9966 and Island pottery supply at 753-1633. Both have adds in the
current BC guild newsletter if you are a member.
Regarding wood firing, I am involved in the Tozan and can fill you in on
membership firing schedules and courses etc if you are interested.
Let me know
hope this helps
