Chocolate!You may wonder why there is no chocolate information on my website. I often talk at length about chocolate when you visit the studio. The reason is that this website is about my work and someday I’ll have a separate website about the chocolate – and soon I’ll have a Facebook page about it. In the meantime I’ll try to add some links to the Chocolate I carry in the studio shop.
The Amedei has won awards as the best chocolate in the world: www.amedei.it
Pacari chocolate is totally produced from bean to bar in Ecuador: www.pacarichocolate.com
Vosges is delicious and has the best caramel: www.vosgeschocolate.com
And newest of all: www.frescochocolate.com
The Fresco chocolate makers are purists, the only ingredients in this chocolate are cocoa beans, cane sugar, and cocoa butter – this means NO NUTS, no gluten, dairy or soy.

Spring Open House – April 30 – May 1, 2011
The spring Open House is early this year so as not to interfere with Mother’s day which is the second Sunday in May. Again it will be happening in conjunction with Fresh Fish, the Anna Templeton Centre Seconds Sale and some other Open Studios which will make up the May Day Craft Weekend. Look for the Green, White and Pink signs.
