Vibrantly
coloured porcelain and stoneware pieces for home and garden
Clay is the
most amazing medium and Monique likes to explore the different
possibilities to create jewellery, wall plaques, garden art and of
course lots of functional and decorative ware.
Special
effects are achieved by adding glass or hand-coloured clays. Her
decorations are mostly inspired by nature’s colours and patterns. She
likes to use vibrant colours and to experiment with new glazes.
She
has been producing quality stoneware for forty years and is also now
exploring pure and extraordinary porcelain, using different techniques
to show off the ultimate whiteness, thinness and translucency of this
material. What a delight!

Unique
jewellery and one-of-a-kind mosaics
Linda is
excited to be part of the studio tour once again. Linda uses a
combination of unique wirework and beading of glass beads, semi-precious
stones and recycled pieces to create trendy jewellery for people of all
ages. This year, she is working on some new jewellery pieces,
incorporating soldiered glass and fabric pendants. Linda also creates
one of-a-kind mosaics using ceramic tiles and broken china. Stop by to
see her hotplates, mirrors and serving trays. She will be giving
hands-on demonstrations over the course of the weekend. Custom orders
will be taken and ready for the holidays!

Clothing,
household linens and baskets, all with something unexpected woven in.
Janet’s grandmother was a weaver who
moved to Canada from Finland. There is a genetic connection here, how
else could she explain her dedication to such an exacting and physically
demanding craft? Janet has been a weaver now for 40 years and she is not
bored with it yet. She is fascinated with the way that colour can play
out through the interwoven threads, and how different weaves are useful
for different projects. Each project Janet does suggests the next one to
her, and she enjoys the challenge of undertaking special orders
