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!
