Jon Faulkner Gallery
Erstwhile Bermuda Clayworks
Well known Bermuda Clayworks located at the Royal Naval Dockyard complex within an old workshop has been taken over by Jon Faulkner and is now known as Jon Faulkner's Gallery. This is the place to go if you are looking for exquisite and colorful ceramic or pottery items.
Jon Faulkner has been a resident potter at Clayworks and actually founded Bermuda Clayworks in 1997. After 10 years he sold off his shares to concentrate on the craft of pottery making to perfect his skills. Now that's done, he has taken over the gallery once again in 2017 after two decades.
The gallery has a working studio and retail ceramic galleries. There are full-time resident artists as well as international ceramists creating the pieces. One of the most interesting pieces are the house designs or the handmade house plaques. There are several of them ready to be purchased off the shelf. The sizes vary between small oval 11.00" X 8.50" to large oval 14.50" X 11.00". You can also customize it and let them know if you want a different image on the plaque.
