Updated July 6, 2025The potter with the longest connection to New London Village Pottery, beside the founder, Daphne Large, is Christine Campbell. Christine began work as a summer sales clerk in the 1970s while attending school and would bicycle to work from Kensington on occasion.
Pottery became her passion and she eventually trained with Daphne as a potter. A quick learner, she was able to advance her skill level through self-instruction and practice, and returned to Village Pottery as a studio potter, once her three sons were old enough for her to work full time in the 1990s. She is also a fabric artist and established her own fibre mill to produce wool from raw fleece.

She relocated to Ontario in the 2020s, but during an extended stay on PEI beginning in 2024 she has returned to Village Pottery once again as a producing potter.
Typically her work is signed with "Village Pottery - PEI - ACC" (being her initials).
