LeBaron Studio

4200 Beaver Drive, Denman Island

It’s the last pottery studio tour to visit one of Denman Island’s most magical locations!

After more than 40 years of creating, 85-year-old master potter, clay sculptor and painter Bentley Le Baron is officially retiring.

The outdoor and indoor galleries are home to fanciful creatures from dragons and ravens to bulls, horses and felines.

Masks, bodycasts, vases mugs and other functional ware abound… in a labyrinth of galleries watched over by playful Pan and a bevy of goddesses!

“Working with my hands and clay is what I love to do. It’s not just a job. It’s a blessing and a treat. Communing with fire and mud, I made a living in art.”
