Pottery on Prince Edward Island
Prince Edward Island for a small province, is home to many potters. As part of a family pottery business I developed an interest in the history of pottery, and when collectors started writing me for information to identify local pottery the blog developed as a place to share information. We appreciate receiving additions to the site.

Village Pottery, New London, PEI
As Village Pottery in New London, PEI has operated since 1973 there have been a number of potters who have worked there. A variety of those potter's signatures have been documented in this blog including:
- Daphne Large - Village Pottery, New London
- Christine Campbell - Village Pottery, New London
- Barb Graham - Village Pottery, New London
- Christopher Dahn - Village Pottery, New London
- Kathy Ethridge - Village Pottery, New London
- Patti Hawkins - Village Pottery, New London
- Suzanne Scott - Potter's Daughter & Village Pottery, New London
- Ian & Jack Scott - Village Pottery - Charlottetown & New London
- Bethany Galbraith-Village Pottery New London
- Maddie Aderson - Maddie Made Pottery & Village Pottery
In the summer of 2025, Suzanne Scott, who is the current owner and daughter of Daphne Large and Ian Scott decided to move to a "smooth bottom" approach as carved signatures can produce a rough surface in some cases. To achieve this she has shifted the production work to a stamped potter's mark using an oxide stamping pad and a rubber stamp which provides a permanent mark once it is fired in the kiln.
It includes the words Village Pottery and Prince Edward Island.

Jamilynn Wilson Ceramics - Summerside PEI
The website for Jamilynn Wilson captures her approach as a small batch potter living on PEI. It indicated that she is,
"a self-taught ceramic artist from Summerside, PE, uses local wild clay to connect with her grandparents' roots and reflect on life in Western PE.
Combing her love for Japanese ceramics, traditional and ancient techniques to design and produce useful domestic objects. Mostly thrown, these contemporary ceramics are intended for everyday use and are entirely handmade. In the name of responsible manufacturing, Jamilynn highlights the possibilities of local clays extracted from the nearby beaches.
“Researching, digging, testing, and working with wild clay helps me connect to a place, I dig small quantities of each material, process clays by hand, and use them pure when possible.
I aim at abstracting as little as possible from the original earth, maintaining what could seem an imperfection, be it soluble salts surfacing during the firing, organic and mineral impurities, or non-homogeneous texture, to respect what the material really is. I want to embrace the marks of a maker and the stories behind them.
My glazing approach is in a constant state of progression as a I learn about my local materials and how to process them. “ - Jamilynn Wilson
Currently Jamilynn is working towards a tableware line featuring the Island clay. Along with working on limited edition collections & collaborating with fellow artisans to make one of a kind pieces. Jamilynn is also striving towards brining a wood fired kiln to the Island, and will be releasing workshops very soon to help support that venture."
In 2023 she wrote about her potter's mark.
"I’ve always known from the very beginning that, my makers mark would be really simple but full of meaning.
Before I made any new work in 2023, I started with my stamp. It’s the same simple j, but slightly altered and much smaller than before. Ironically I designed it before taking notice that it has similar characteristics from my tattoo.
The anchor on my thumb was imprinted from a first young love over a decade ago. And has now become a symbol for the role I take part in when it comes to my family, and marks my life living and working by the sea."
