Update July 2016

Dear visitor of this blog!

Our pottery blog has not been updated for years, while the pottery department has really expanded and the store has moved into a bigger and better location.

Instead, please visit our web site and find the current information!

See you over there - Cheers, Jurgen

Our pottery department expanded

It's been quite a while now that we have posted news in this pottery blog.

We got many more interesting items and series in. Best check our two web pages for functional pottery and Raku pottery!

See you over in our web site!

More Coastal Treasures are coming!

Orca Design

After the good response on the Salmon Run design (see earlier posting), we ordered more coastal designs - these are the treasures we celebrate here on the West Coast and the season starts NOW!

Have a look and enjoy these designs. See them in our store or order them online at www.needlenart.com!

This is important: each design comes in (the same) over 40 different shapes and sizes. They are safely shipped in "Campbell River" crates. Ask for details!

New to the store: Coastal Treasures

We just brought in the "Salmon Run" series of Artable's Coastal Treasures, more designs will follow! All plates are boxed in solid crates with "Campbell River, BC" burnt in. Debra Durrer from Calgary has hand crafted this beautiful decorative and functional pottery - "Where Art and Table Meet".


This large oval Fish Dish gives the clearest view of the "Salmon Run" design. Find more information (and buy it!) in our web site www.needlenart.com.

Christina Lindstrom, Nanaimo
For nearly 15 years now we carry Christina Lindstrom's pottery designs, at first in our Pier Street Gallery, later on pottery expanded into the Needle & Arts Centre and adds to the artsy and crafty flair.
Christina and her husband reside in Nanaimo and are originally from Sweden, which is reflected in her designs. Her main lines are the light glaze on white clay and the blue or green glazes on red clay, but she always tries interesting new products and glazes. All her pottery is lead free, diswasher, microwave and oven safe. You find tea pots and mugs, a variety of bowls, bakers, canisters, plates, Sushi dishes and much more. We also take custom orders!
