Ceramics from Qualicum Beach

My work is rooted in decades of practice, dedication, and a lasting love for functional pottery.

Anne Marie Veale

I have been working with clay for almost 40 years since art college and have been fortunate, after a lot of hard work, to make a living from a craft I respect and love.
After moving from Vancouver to the Island, I switched from gas fired pots to electric and delighted to see the response to my new work. Since then I have produced functional dinnerware for several restaurants, supplied galleries, attended shows, taken part in invitational exhibitions, and taken commissions for clients.
I attended “Carlisle College of Art” in the Lake District in England—Beatrix Potter country. After receiving a “Licentiateship of the Society of Designer Crafts”, I apprenticed with well-known potters in the U.K. before moving to Canada.

Supporting B.C. Artisans

Before
After

Circle Craft is more than a gallery or a shop. We're a co-operative, owned and run by the artists who make up our membership. That means when you buy from Circle Craft, your purchase goes directly back to the maker behind the work. No middlemen. No corporate margin. Just a community of over 140 B.C. artists building something together, and a place where craft, creativity, and livelihood are all the same thing.

Made in Canada

Circle Craft is rooted in B.C., where 140 artists across the province draw inspiration from some of the most extraordinary landscapes on earth. From the rugged coastline to old-growth forests to the high desert of the interior, our makers are shaped by the place they call home. That connection to this land isn't just inspiration. It shows up in every piece, every medium, and every collection we carry.
