Look who just flew in!

Timberdoodle Art Works has landed! Indeed the colourful folk art of Eleanor Wyand and Sue Smith, in the form of their wonderfully big footed birds has returned to King's Point (, just like the spring swallows to Capistrano!) We have their big Atlantic Puffins back and the newcomers to KP's fine craft gallery, the electric "feathered" Village Birds. The duo have been whittling and painting Nova Scotia pine into eccentric folk art "fabulous" for decades. Swoop over and see what's new in the shop...and maybe a peck of dessert over at da By the Sea Cafe!!

By the Sea Cafe..OPEN!

The By the Sea Cafe is now open for 2012.
Always a great sign that summer is soon to be here.
Now if only the ice (conditioning) would head out the bay!

Another beautiful thing worth mentioning!

Ok, technically it was thru the shop window and not really in the shop window...but it was beautiful...the moon was very fine...last night here in King's Point (& else where to be sure).

Happy Easter Weekend to everyone.

Philosopher's Stone returns to Kings Point Pottery Fine Craft Gallery

As those of you who have been here before know I love stone and I love love love these peoples unbelievable work! (I not so secretly wish I could keep it all.) Artists John, Tamar and family create in a very quiet area of rural Nova Scotia, Rosebud...and we are so lucky to be able to carry their very limited hand production work. Did you know they are the original stone vessel makers here in Canada, starting their business in 1993. Philosophers Stone's work really speaks to me...with a very calming voice. If you like stone you will love shopping here at Kings Point Pottery. We just received a new shipment..over 100 passionate lbs!

New Fine Craft Artists at King's Point Pottery Fine Craft Gallery: Stinson Studios

(We are not yet up to our goal of 365 artists...that's the five year plan. But hopefully this year we might reach 200 in 2012!)

As shown above this is the gorgeous work of the Stinson family: Don, Joanne, Jesse, Emma, Spike et al. They make handcrafted wooden bowls and sculptural burls..."or what could be better than a sustainable, environmentally consciencious piece of artwork that is also functional"... and the wood is finished with canola oil and organic carnauba wax from" the bee queen", (their local producer of bee products). These beautiful new wood products are available right now at King's Point Pottery Fine Craft Gallery.
