The gallery exhibits his work and that of other potters, glassblowers, jewellers, bird carvers, wood turners, metal and stone sculptors, weavers etc.. a fine craft gallery featuring his works, other work from area artisans, pieces from across the country and some fair trade work from Kenya. The Gallery hosts periodic fine art exhibitions of regional artists. The current exhibition is a collection of the works of Edward Curtis, the noted American photographer of first nations people.
I first made pots in the old farmhouse on Lindgren Road in 1975, and later my wife Cathy and I established Lindgren Pottery in a new studio and showroom next to our farmhouse in 1981. The showroom here is open to the public through the year. We used to sell to shops and galleries as well as exhibit at craft shows, but for many years, our work has only been available at our showroom here in the woods outside Huntsville.Seven years ago we built a new studio and then moved the showroom downstairs to the ground floor - the space is twice as big as before. If you haven't visited in a while we're sure you will appreciate the 'new' showroom.

Great place for the entire family! I loved the old place, but the new place at 100 Bloor East, Oshawa is even better! Tons of pieces to choose from to paint- more than I've seen anywhere! Plus they offer glass fusing, stoneware and clay. I've always wanted to try the potter's wheel. :) Time flies by so quickly, I always feel at home and help is there every step of the way.
