Meet the Maker

Rainforest Pottery

Parksville,  BC 

Over his 51 years as a professional potter, Vijaya has continually honed his craft by attending specialized courses with experts from all over British Columbia to as far away as Florence, Italy, Dallas and New York City. The commitment he made in the early days of his career, to combine graceful form with pure function and unusual colour with unique texture, continues to be reflected strongly in his work today. Vijaya is not only a highly skilled potter, but his patience and ability to share his extensive knowledge of pottery, form and function also make him a superb teacher

.Justina returned to her love of clay by joining Rainforest Pottery in 2004, as an apprentice. Because of her passion for pottery and the studio, Justina eventually joined Vijaya as a co-owner.
