Top Shopping Destination in Newfoundland and Labrador...

Did you know Trip Advisor currently ranks King's Point Pottery's Newfoundland Craft Shop #1 for shopping (Under "things to do in Newfoundland" please check out the "Shopping Tab" in this link) in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada? (They do... and they also rated us #1 last year!!) And that is in addition to being awarded the years #1 craft shop a.k.a. the outstanding craft shop in Atlantic Canada earlier this year! ( Thanks to the Craft Council of NL for the nomination and the Craft Alliance for their selection!) All in all...it has been a very fortunate year for our Newfoundland craft shop.

So thank you all very much...to everyone out there who helps to make us the #1 Newfoundland Craft Shop! What's next? Well, it is no secret that our long term goal is to eventually become one of the finest Craft Shops in all of Canada. Please stay tuned as we have lots of new craft-artists planned for 2014!

Now that we are into the shoulder season (pre holiday season)...we would like to remind customers that we are still open year round but we do strongly recommend calling ahead. The fall and winter is just 5 days per week : Tuesday to Saturday from 10:00am to 5:00pm. (Closed Sundays and Mondays.) We will of course be away now and then... between now and next summer. We will post any temporary changes as they occur.

We continue to post on twitter @potterykp , facebook, and of course our website.

Best wishes to all,
David and Linda
King's Point Pottery,
Newfoundland's top craft shop.

CBC interviews King's Point Pottery Gallery and Gifts

Wow, thanks go out to Lindsay Bird of CBC tv who interviewed us this week! She was right here in King's Point at our gallery! We talked about winning the top retailer award for Atlantic Canada, Art Smarts and our hopes for the area. If you didn't see it or want to see it again here it is. Please click on the following link to see the piece that appeared on Here and Now NL, 12 Feb 2013:

PS: If you are using an ipad for some reason the link doesn't always work (it sends you to another part of cbc)..a pc seems fine (goes right to the video)? If you go to the cbc web site and type in kings point pottery you can easily find the video but maybe it has something to do with flash or maybe I have an old ipad?

And the award for #1 retailer in Atlantic Canada goes to...

David Hayashida, Linda Yates & Sandra Jamison tourism NB

.... the Newfoundland and Labrador company of....King's Point Pottery Gallery and Gifts. The hardware was handed out at the Atlantic Canada Craft and Trade Show gala event in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

"Coming from a tiny outport of under 650 people, it was particularly thrilling for us to win the highest award in Atlantic Canada. It is quite the contrast when you consider that last years winner was from a town of over 400 thousand. Linda is proud to point out, her home town is in fact the smallest to ever take home the award. And as it has been a decade since a Newfoundland and Labrador company has won this prestigious award, it is truly a provincial celebration for us.

We believe the "Outstanding Retailer Award" is a reflection of the 150 wonderful craft-artists we currently present. Our long term goal is to showcase 365 different craft-artists, in order to be able to celebrate a different producer each and every day of the year! As we are not even half way to our goal, there is much to look forward to in the coming years!

Linda and I wish to thank all our customers for making us an Atlantic destination. We invite you to stop by and discover for yourself the treasure trove of creativity that makes King's Point Pottery the 2013 top craft retailer in Atlantic Canada!"

Our sincere thanks,
Linda Yates, David Hayashida, Cal, Tracy, Victoria, Wallie and Biscuit.

PS: As we said at our acceptance speech ...thank you to the CCNL for nominating us and to the Craft Alliance for the award!!

Nominated for #1 Retailer.

First happy new year to all!!

Next a very big thank you goes out from Linda and me, to the the nomination committee of the Craft Council of Newfoundland and Labrador. They have nominated King's Point Pottery Gallery and Gifts for the 2013 Outstanding Retailer for all of Atlantic Canada.

It is a great honour just to be nominated for this top award. So many wonderful craft shops, we have admired forever, from across the four Atlantic Provinces have previously won this coveted award. Places like Paula Cornec's Beavercraft in Stephenville, Barb Roberts' Bogside Gallery in Halifax and of course our very own Craft Council Shop in St John's are but a few to have been recipients of this prestigious honour.

The 16th annual gala ceremony will be held in Halifax, NS on Saturday the 2nd of February 2013 in conjunction with the Atlantic Craft Trade Show, ACTS.  Again our thanks to the Craft Council of Newfoundland and Labrador for their very kind nomination and we have our fingers crossed!

Best David and Linda!!
