Kingsmill Studio

Pottery

For thirty years our studio has produced a wide range of pottery — from the functional to the sculptural, from raku-fired masks to stoneware wall murals. Bob Kingsmill worked the first 13 years alone, and has since shared the space with fellow potters Darlene Nairne, Don Hutchinson, and Keith Lehman.

Granville Island’s original mandate provided craftspeople with reasonable rents in exchange for allowing the public to access their working process and products. This has given visitors a view into a rich and complex community of creative individuals. This connection is important because it allows people from different backgrounds to come together. If they gain insight into the arts and artists they can leave here with a more positive view of the world.
