Exploring
Denman's country roads is definitely part of the tour adventure, and
arrival at Scott and Garnet Bearsley's studio is all about discovering
yet another fabulous island treasure trove at the end of a long and
winding, picturesque country driveway! This talented couple's extensive
repertoire ranges from the playful to the sublime. Eccentric human
characters occupy brightly painted wall plaques and soap dishes, while
delicately rendered chickadees and forest landscapes grace lidded pots
and mugs. Stunning bowls and plates bathed in satiny shades of blue and
green can be found on display alongside other works decorated with a
spotted leopard-like glaze, rich in tones of gold, chocolate and velvet
black. New works include large platters with sculpted bas relief
decorating bold rims, and gorgeous vases graced with a turquoise 'crawl'
glaze over a shiny brown underglaze!
