artsquest.ca profiles kingspointpottery

Corinne and Gary Funk of Arts Quest in NL.

King's Point Pottery Fine Craft Gallery was recently profiled by Arts Quest or http://www.artsquest.ca/
I call them the new Canadian "Etsy"....that is to say they are developing a new online full service sales site for fine craft and fine art types from Canada only.

Prior to putting the finishing touches on their e-commerce site they are laying the real honest ground work by travelling right across the country visiting crafts persons, arts persons and...discovering them, interviewing them and learning about them in general.

Here is the link to their blog-video of our interview here in Newfoundland:

Hope you enjoy it and I recommend you continue to check out their other interesting interviews!

A solitary Philosophers Stone vase!

Sorry...I realized after I posted the last group image...you don't really get a good feel for the fine craftspersonship from the previous candid shot. So although this is yet another amateur image by me...I hope it better portrays the timeless beauty of their work. (But I have added it to my to do list of a pro shot for the stone vases.)
