The need for
attractive containers for his home produced honey turned
Sandy Metcalfe into a full time potter.
He
began to take an interest in pottery when he was invited
by a friend to share her potters' wheel and kiln, and he
eventually created an interesting and highly original honey
pot. These honey pots were so well received, Sandy decided
to go into the pottery business for himself, and so, in mid
1966, MEADOWCROFT POTTERY came into being. He made spoons
to go with the honey pots, then salt and pepper shakers and
gradually expanded into ash trays, soup bowls, coffee mugs
and numerous other items, making forty six different ones
in all.
Sandy mixes
his own colours, delighting in warm reds, rich oranges and
tans. His work is sold in all the large department stores in
Toronto, in Yorkville Village, and in Morrisburg USA. His
wife Pearl manages the business side of MEADOWCROFT POTTERY
which is located on the corner of the Fourth Line West and
Steeles Avenue, near Meadowvale, Peel County.
