’Chosin
Pottery is owned and
operated by award-winning, internationally known ceramic
artists Robin
Hopper and
Judi
Dyelle. It is the
exclusive destination for purchasing or ordering their work.
Located on the Southern end of Vancouver Island, just 30 minutes
from downtown Victoria,
British Columbia, Canada. Nestled on six acres in Metchosin, it
houses two studios, a gallery and a showroom. The studios are set
in the beautiful, much publicized, two and a half acre,
Japanese-inspired garden. The Gallery and showroom are part of a
renovated heritage house dating from the turn of the century. The
grounds contain one of the finest stands of first-growth Douglas
fir in the Victoria area. The huge fir trees are underplanted with
many large rhododendrons, shrubs, perennials and bulbs, both
indigenous and exotic. The Gallery, which overlooks the water
garden, features a continually changing variety of work. They also
feature exquisite sterling silver jewellery made by Judi’s daughter, Morgan
Saddington.
Robin and Judi share over
one hundred years combined experience in the field of pottery. They
produce a wide range of work, mainly in high-temperature,
reduction-fired porcelain. It ranges from one-of-a-kind pieces for
decoration or contemplation to Robin's exciting new Glaze Paintings
. The majority of the work is wheel thrown, but there is also a
selection of unique handbuilt forms.
Judi and Robin have been highlighted on the website
Artsquest. Check out their video interview.
They are the
founding members of
Fired Up, Contemporary Works in Clay, an annual show and
sale at the end of May, featuring fourteen of BC's top professional
ceramic artists. It is held in the Metchosin Community
Hall.
