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.

Suzanne Scott -- The Potter's Daughter
Suzanne's Scott's interest in creative ventures was evident very early growing up in a home where two craft studios shared the basement along with a playroom in between. Pottery and leather were the media of her parents and she now uses both of these in her own work.
You can follow Suzanne's ventures in several ways. Her online store called Potter's Daughter is a great starting point to view and purchase her line of pottery and leather jewelery and her blog The Potter's Daughter is a great way to follow her latest creations.
She is on Twitter as well as the Village Pottery Facebook site. Village Pottery in New London, PEI carries Suzanne's full line during the summer season from May 10-Oct 25.

Pottery Marks of Prince Edward Island - Duffy Pottery
"Of the Isle" was a craft shop in Brackley, PEI that operated in the 1960's & 1970's by Mrs. Duffy from Charlottetown. Her son Philip Duffy, an Island potter at that time supplied her shop with pottery. His work was signed "Duffy PEI". Now a resident of the province of Quebec, Philip continues to pursue his ceramic interests in the sculptural side of the art, rather than in functional pottery. He wrote in 2012 to indicate how the shop building,
"Was bought and moved in the late 1970's from Brackley to make into a cottage, it was a few miles north of the [Charlottetown] Airport, soon after Fair Isle Motel . . . my mother had at least 30-40 craftspeople represented in her shop, at the time. I loved all the variety, really fantastic, to see Levitt's woodturning -- no longer... Axel Johnson [woodturning]. When Moira and I went to see him in Little Sands, what a treat ! One time the road was blocked, June for road construction, we walk a half mile, across fields, when we got got there, Axel, said 'Well I know the road is blocked, how did you get here?' Moira answered, well, 'We walked all the way from Charlottetown,' Axel was surprised, then, he said 'Well that will take some lard off your behind !' "
