Next door to the Islesford Dock restaurant is Marian Baker's Islesford Pottery shop. We think her stuff is beautiful and have bought a few pieces over the years. Amy commissioned a beautiful bowl as a Christmas present to me to commemorate our engagement. I highly recommend stopping in her shop while you're there and picking out something nice.
Marian says that inspiration for her pottery
comes from many sources: nature (rocks, the colors of moss and lichens, the sea); some traditional English and Japanese pottery; and the material itself (the way clay can hold a mark and appear soft, the way glaze can be rich, layered, watery or stone-like.
