About

Alex Bevan-Baker is a potter and instructor based in Prince Edward Island (Epekwitk). He specializes in crystalline ceramics, a unique and demanding process that produces snowflake or flower-like crystals in the glaze.

 

Alex has been working with clay since 2014. He was a long-term member of the P.E.I. Potters Studio, a graduate of the ceramics program at Haliburton School of Art and Design, and has taught at Alley Street Clay Club. His work has been featured in magazines, fine dining restaurants and local art exhibits, and he has presented at ceramics conferences.

 

 

Every piece is made in small batches in his wee studio: thrown, trimmed, glazed, and fired by hand. It is a labour of love, and one that can still surprise you when the kiln lid is propped open. Due to the random location of the crystal growth, each piece is truly one of a kind.

You can find his work at his studio in Bonshaw, online, in fine craft stores across the province, and at local markets and fairs each Holiday season.
