’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.
Robin and Judi share over
ninety 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 an excellent selection of functional
pottery for everyday use. This includes mugs, teapots, goblets,
pitchers, bowls, creams and sugars and a variety of casseroles and
serving dishes. All of the functional pottery is oven, microwave
and dishwasher safe. The majority of the work is wheel thrown, but
there is also a selection of unique handbuilt forms.
Each year they participate in the annual Stinking
Fish Studio Tour that takes place every August and
November. 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.
